The Simple Guide to Plant Strong Burgers 
by the Engine 2 Team

 in a nutshell, you pick your bean, pick your starch, pick your vegetable(s),  pick your spices, pick your liquid, add a flax meal and water mixture as a binder and you're ready to make patties.

for our first attempt, we chose:

 TruRoots Sprouted Bean Trio as our bean (cooked with a bayleaf and mushroom base)

brown rice (since i had some leftover) as our starch

a combination of onion, celery, garlic and carrots as our vegetables

crushed red pepper,  braggs liquid aminos, nutritional yeast, black pepper and a little basil as our seasoning

liquid from cooking the beans

topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, sprouts and sprinkle of feta cheese

the recommended cooking method is baking.  i was tempted to put them in a skillet with some coconut oil to get a nice crispy outside, but since i'm trying to cut back on oil, i tried it their way. they turned out great, but one of these days, i think i'll try it my way.

let me know what combinations you try.
