  Was very easy and quick to make. I made half the recipe and made 4 burgers. Will definately make again and freeze them. I didn't make the lime nad yoghurt salsa, just served them in a roll with shredded lettuce and more of the tomato salsa on the top. :0)

  Very easy & suprisinglydelicious. I served with guacamole rather than fresh avocado. The yoghurt & salsa really added to to the overall dish. If you follow the recipe and make 6 burgers, they are a substantial size.

  These looked great but the taste was a little disappointing. Maybe they needed more seasoning.

  I made the veggie meatball recipe, and it was great - children and grown ups loved them. I loved eating meatballs made of meat as a child, and now I'm vegetarian. I'm delighted that I've found a veggie recipe for a much missed classic.

  They probably would work at a BBQ, though you wouldn't want to overcook them. I really like these; they're a bit difficult to eat, but they are very tasty and go well with Mexican food.

  Made these last night, I also thought they looked a bit dry so I brushed them with olive oil half way through cooking. They went down really well and are easily adapted to how spicy you like things.

  easy to make and taste good hot or cold- definitely a success! However next time I would perhaps add more chilli seasoning for a spicier flavour.

  Definately a really versatile recipe - swapped the kidney beans for pinto beans and they held together fantastically (even without the egg.) Halved the recipe and got six mini (half pitta bread) sized burgers which allowed me to test them from frozen later in the week too; huge sucess all round really.

  Excellent recipe, easy to make, really tasty and taste fab with the lime yoghurt and salsa. We added some fresh chilli which spiced things up and added extra flavour.

  Incredibly easy and very tasty - even my carnivore husband enjoyed them! I added extra chilli powder and a dash of chilli sauce to the mix and was delighted with the taste and texture - they held together well. Didn't make the yoghurt or serve them in buns, but made some spicy sweet potato wedges and had salsa, jalapenos and guacamole on the side. A healthy, veggie alternative to burger and chips!

  I am not a fan. They were very easy to make which was great. Unfortunately they tasted mushy and bland. Perhaps I was doing something wrong as everyone else seems pretty pleased or perhaps they just aren't my thing. I did like the lemon yogurt though.

  For Vegan you might try a bit of tofu as the binder. The purpose of the egg is to bind it together. It may or may not work well.

  Excellent - surprisingly good. I used sweet chilli sauce instead of salsa. Recipe made 8 smaller burgers of which 2 were plenty (with buns, additions, salad etc) for dinner.

  Brilliant recipe and burgers freeze really well. Our favourite is to serve without a bun on their own with avocado and wedges!
