  • My husband (almost 73 years old) and I (69 years old) have been vegans since 1975. We're always looking for exciting new recipes. Thanks for this one!
  • @balllegend8519
    I love the fact that they are not hiding their recipe. This kind of unselfish moves can change the world for the better. Thank you🙏
  • @HeronCoyote1234
    The one thing I noticed after eating a plant based burger is I don’t feel uncomfortable and bloated like I did after a meat burger. Just pleasantly satiated.
  • @GemQ90
    In the Caribbean we make lentil patties and you really don't miss the meat, it's delicious, you just need to soak the lentils overnight, blend it and add your seasonings, shape it and fry or bake it...but I'll definitely be trying his recipe😊

    This is my guess on the measurements (based on eyesight). Haven't tested yet. Ingredients: 1 cup - Black Beans 1 cup - Chickpeas 1 cup - Lentils 1 cup - Mushrooms (cooked) / can be substituted for brown rice/barley or quinoa. 1/2 cup - Rolled Oats 1/4 cup - Beets (Shredded) / can be substituted for Ketchup or BBQ sauce. 1/4 cup - Nutritional Yeast 1 tsp - Tapioca Starch / can be substituted for arrowroot/cornstarch or flour. 1/4 tsp - Salt 1/4 tsp - Pepper 1/8 tsp - Chili Powder 1 tsp - Parsley 1 tsp - Rosemary *Optional add 1/2 cup of quinoa for binding purposes. Instructions Mash all ingredients together and form patties Grill the burgers for 2-3 minutes each side Bake for 20 minutes at 350 F (flipping halfway through) Toppings: Chick Pea Mayo Lettuce Pickle Tomatoes Cheese sauce Mustard Onions

  • I’ve been vegan for six years now and it remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
  • I made these burgers (obviously estimated his measurements), but with a couple of edits: I added smoked paprika, a tiny bit of liquid smoke, and a tiny bit of both balsamic and worschestire sauce (vegan brand). I cannot use oats, so I used quinoa flakes. Also, when I cooked the mushrooms, I added some garlic to them toward the end. These are very tasty. They have the appearance of meat, because they brown so nicely. The flavor is great (especially with the added smokey flavors!). It's a little tricky to process well and not have it get too mushy. To improve that, I kneaded in some ground walnuts at the end by hand. It really restored some texture. These are a keeper.
  • @TRADERSFRIEND
    Who else felt longing and a tad of envy when he bit into that burger????
  • @hibiscus2031
    Just finished making this...hands down best burger I've ever eaten in MY LIFE
  • @markeagles7383
    I’m a butcher, in the game for 43 years. I become a vegan this year and still working . I definitely going to make this burger for sure. Cheers 🍻
  • I tried making these burgers and estimated the amount by looking at what the chef put in it and it was the most delicious and satisfying veggie burger I have ever eaten. I haven’t eaten any other recipe since I found this video. Thank you for sharing your video I am so grateful to you because all the other veggie burgers I tried just didn’t do it for me and this one has them all beat
  • @hrafenkell3838
    people who think that meat tastes good don’t realize that seasoning makes the dish more than the food choice does
  • @YourMajestJae
    * literally watches the entire process* “HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS? “
  • @PlantLifeYT
    This video got me started on my plant based journey after being diagnosed with Diabetes. Thank you for this. I found it inspiring, to say the least.
  • @davidlaue8225
    I made these last week and got mush. I made them last night and they came out perfect. Here is where I made my mistakes. I used too many beans, should be a cup each and not the whole 15 ounce can. Also drain the beans, rinse and let dry, and don't over pulse in the Processor. Keep everything else as Chef describes and it's a very good burger. One other little thing, try and keep them out of the oven. Fry on high each side for about 3 minutes, no more than 5 minutes total. Then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes on each side, turning often. The oven tends to make them crumbly. Great Burger!!

    "Tastes like a burger!!" "It is." 😂😂😂 I like this Chef
  • @meyou2236
    Chef David Lee was so patient and professional. The interviewer was annoying.
  • I made these burgers Saturday--ate one and then sealed and froze the rest. Sunday I made a second batch and came out with 14 burgers based on adding 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup quinoa and 1 cup barley in addition to 1 cup chopped uncooked button mushrooms. @aerosolista posted a guess on the ingredients in the comments here and I experimented. I also added two small freshly grated beets and included 1 Tbl organic chia seeds, 1 Tbl ground organic flax seed, and 1 Tbl organic shelled hemp seeds. Best damn burgers I've made in a long time. This is my new staple
