Veggie Burgers

Mille® 's Note:

These healthy alternatives to beef burgers are ideal for barbecues served in a bread roll with salad or a salsa. I can't take credit for this recipe, though - my daughter, Laura, came home to visit last weekend and she barbecued for us. Dad LOVES an occasional kitchen break!

Nice burger patties but I found the mix was quite moist and I needed lots more flour than the recipe stated. Definitely worth a try!
