I've made a few veggie burgers that use quick cooking rolled outs and it seems to be the secret in holding the patties together. Here's a recipe from Meatless Burgers for North African sweet potato burgers:

2 cups baked or boiled and mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped peanuts or soynuts
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and stems)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Form into patties and bake in a 350 degree oven.

My grandmother lives down the street from the best bakery in Budapest and a slice of dobos torta is always the first cake I eat when I visit. I'm not really into the fancy versions I see--I prefer my $2 slice.

Playminxie: There's a ton of Hungarian food you can make vegetarian! Just substitute tofu or seitan for the meat. Stuffed peppers, kohlrabi, cabbage and fasirt all with tofu. There's always fozelek, lecso, and mushroom paprikas...

i use the trader joe's basil cubes, but i'm close to giving up on them. they really don't taste like anything unless you use a lot of them.

chai, with not too much ginger.
