I'm always a little suspicious of a non-meat burger. I like vegetables and beans well enough but when I eat a burger I want meat. We've had success in the past making black bean burgers so I'm going to give this recipe a fair chance.
We're using Jamie Oliver's recipe if you want to make it yourself.
The thing we usually dislike about veggie burgers are they're too soft. I prefer a soft bread bun and a firm burger to bite.
These black bean burgers were pretty firm actually. They cooked fine and held together well in the pan. They were a bit on the dry side which can be remedied by adding some mayo and the taste was a little bland. But overall I enjoyed them. It's nice to eat a burger that's a bit healthier and not going to have a grisly bit of meat in it. I liked the addition of melted mozzarella on the top too.
