  Thanks Good Food once again for coming up trumps with a slightly different and much less boring burger recipe than the one I have at home. Merry Christmas to all at Good Food and thanks again!

  I made these burgers last week but they fell to bits in the grill pan when I tried to turn them over to cook....There was no binding agent....did you miss out egg or something. They were an absolute disaster. Ended up scooping the bits on to a baking tray and cooking the mush that way. It was quite tasty but would have been dreadful had I been making for friends for a meal....I would rate this with 1 star.....

  This was a yummy change from the ordinary burger. We BBQ'd the burgers and had no problem with them staying together. My husband and I both loved them. It was a delicious, healthier alternative and we will definitely be making them again.

  They stayed together pretty well & I like the fact that they are healthier than normal burgers. A little light on seasoning though... despite the chilli powder they still tasted a bit bland.

  Like elizabeth I just made this burgers and when put on the BBQ they all fell apart through the grill! is there something missing in the recipe? A star for the flavour but I don't think I will be making these burgers again.

  I thought these were great - meaty and really tasty - and a decent size patty too. Didn't have any problems with them falling apart, and really enjoyed the cous cous in them. The Roasted red pepper goes really well, as does the rocket. I served with sweet potatoe wedges

  These burgers were tasty and easy to make. The texture from the cous cous was a little unusual but they still tasted good.
