Veggie Burger eaters - teach me
So I Iove to eat veggie burgers for lunch. Easy to "cook" in work microwave. Filling. I like a hot lunch over a cold sandwich. But I really do want to eat less processed foods. So, I'd like to make a batch of veggie burgers on the weekend and then eat them during the week. All of the make your own recipes seem to have you grill or fry them which doesn't work for me at the office. Do you think they would "warm up" well if I prepare them all the way on the weekend and then nuke them? Does anyone have a recipe that you do just cook in the microwave after they are prepared?

Ditto Fallin'.
I would also imagine it would depend on the type of veggie burger you make. A quinoa/lentil mixture would probably hold up pretty well.
do you have a toaster oven at work?
and people make their own veggie burgers? that seems like so much work. i like the spicy black bean burgers best.

nope re: toaster oven, fire hazard.
There are a lot of veggie burger recipes around. I made some eggplant based ones a while back but they were a little too mushy.

i may need to try making some. it just seems like a lot of hard work.
Mark Bittman's vegetarian cookbook has several veggie burger recipes (one for each season plus some others). They are all browned in oil or butter, but each recipe notes that they can be refrigerated or frozen after being cooked.I mean, aside from the telltale microwave texture, any of them would work fine. I think the only ones that wouldn't be great would be those without much of a binder in it.
I'm a bad vegetarian, I've never made my own veggie burgers.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
My favorite. And just fine nuked.
