Last night, I prepared this for supper. Even though I’m not a great fan of legumes, I like it a lot. The flavor is just what you expect in a vegetarian burger.

This is without a doubt one of the finest dishes you’ve ever shared. I’m surprised that chickpeas are becoming more popular, given their newness to the culinary landscape, but they’re great. This dish is fantastic since it has no unusual ingredients, such as mushrooms or seaweed.

I prepared these for Christmas and they were a tremendous success with both adults and children. I served it with oven roasted potatoes and a lemon and caper sauce (prepared with vegan sour cream and Vegenaise). You couldn’t tell the major component was beans, believe it or not! Even the kids begged if there might be more burritos!

I cooked this recipe for my vegetarian cousins for Thanksgiving, and they were blown away by the delicious taste of so many veggies. They enjoyed it, and so did us!

I added cannellini beans since I read somewhere that they would provide a creamy texture when everything was combined.

This is incredible!! I’ve never tasted such delicious chickpea burgers. Nevertheless, I used standard bread crumbs rather than gluten-free bread crumbs. Maybe you might create a gluten-free version for gluten-intolerant readers.

Oh my my, this is addicting! exclaims another reader. Another reader described it this way: I adore the sweet flavor of turmeric coming through in the pesto-style sauce, and I’m not even a huge lover of turmeric.

And one more thing before I say good-by to everyone: You’re 1000, no 1 000 000, no 1 000 000 000 times more great, pleasant, and fantastic than any of the recipes on this page. I adore you, I adore you all!
