VeggieBurger Quest

There is a time in any vegetarian's life where they decided to embark on a quest for the perfect burger, either while dining out or at home. I've tried some of the best (Publick House) and some that are a mess (River Gods) and now its time to try to make my own.

Trial NO. 1

I followed the recipe, substituting wheat gluten with egg replacer since I had that on hand.

Results?
Needed salt (as most things do!) but amazed the recipe didn't call for though it spelled everything else out in detail.

Good texture, a bit mushy which may be due to lack of gluten. Topped it with a crisp, raw jicama slaw and some Chipotle Tabasco. That combo was tasty, yet I want my perfect burger to stand on its own - so back to the drawing board.............
