Vegetarians and omnivores alike can enjoy this tasty burger.

This recipe requires some items from the specialty, vegetarian, or health food section of the supermarket, or from the health food store. It is worth the small extra effort.

Perhaps you are unsatisfied with the frozen meatless burgers you find available. You may find the flavor too spicy, or not spicy enough. Or the sodium content may be too high. Try these instead. You can adjust the seasonings any way you like, to get exactly the burger you want.
