And thanks for the reminder to put a note about making them thinner rather than thicker. We noticed that too. And it seems to be especially important if you use kidney and black beans.

Excellent except that I made them a little thick. Next time, I'll make them thinner and with other beans as I thought they were a little pale. We tried these tonight.

Instead of just using just one kind of dried legume, I soaked some chickpeas with a good measure of kidney and black beans. The finished burgers looked even more like real meat. Tasted really good too. I'm thinking one could use just about any good bean in these veg burgers. E has dubbed them "Shamburgers". I like that. :) Last night we made them again (third or fourth time? – I forget).

I'm sue you could use chickpea flor or similar for gluten-free vegetarians too? <small class="ejmnote"><i class="note">They are fantastic, Jeanne. And don't wait til you have vegetarian guests! Even though we're dedicated meat eaters,I really don't think we'll ever use ground meat for a burger again. I suppose that chickpea flour may be fine for gluten-free vegetarians but the trouble is that chickpea flour may not have the properties required for holding the patty together. You might have to add a small quantity of xanthan gum or guar gum as well. Not sure about this though. -Elizabeth</i></small> Sounds fantastic – I’m going to try this next time we have vegetarian guests at a barbecue.
