Suggestion for a sub for the eggplant, please. want to make but do not have on? I have carrots, cauliflower, sweet peas, edamame and corn.
Cauliflower and corn sound great 🙂
Looks delicious. Going to try this out as I love chickpeas. Thanks a lot Anja for all the yummy recipes.
Enjoy!
Hello my friend, I have not tried it as yet, but I am assured that it will taste real good. I like the way you explain, and even always suggest a substitute for some item, so we can make our choice. I also appreciate you telling us where you got your nice food processor to buy, as so many of them calls for cutting up small pieces to place in the processor. You are a blessing. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Abigail 🙂
Loving your recipes.
Thanks Brenda.
Great! I will add this on my menu..Thanjs
Hi Anja, I made this recipe and it’s really lucky any of it got to the oven, mine was a bit softer that yours and I have used it over rice and over pasta. I love the flavor! Thank you for sharing this and for all your recipes, you are much appreciated!
So glad you like it Penny 🙂
I love the taste of these burgers, they we’re lovely. The only problem I had was that it was to soft to make form the patties, I think I might have over done the mixture in the processor. I had to add a lot of chickpea flour so that I could form the patties. Next I will put the timer on for 25 seconds and see if that is better. Enjoying the recipes I’be tried so far. Trying this for a month to see if a vegan diet is for me.
Hi Dorothy, maybe your potatoes were a bit water logged?? Yes, try doing a shorter time with the food processor and see how it goes next time. All the best with your month of vegan – hope you can make it a life time x
Hi Anja, made these yesterday and they were delicious. I made them with mushrooms in place of the eggplant, the mixture was very stretchy and soft but I believe I processed it too long and the potatoes were very watery. Will definitely try again and hope they will turn out more like yours next time. Love your channel and watching your new recipes each week plus the new interviews and FAQ’s on Friday segments.
So glad you like the recipes and videos 🙂
Could you bake the potatoes instead of boiling? Or would that make them more watery? Or maybe a different potatoes with different consistency? Just a thought , thanks.
I have never tried to make them with baked potato, but I would think that they would be too crispy and dry for the purpose of forming them in to patties.
I do not have a food processor but you mentioned that you could do the mixing by hand. How difficult is that?
Love your recipes and videos!
Thank you Anja for sharing. These were very easy to make and delicious, even family members who don’t like eggplant had 2! I am making them again for tonight’s dinner.
Fabulous 🙂
Fabulous… I’m so glad you like the recipe as much as I do. I appreciate your feedback.
Yes Anja you are a blessing. So glad I found your website. Being new to veganism I appreciate greatly the lovely variety of foods used.
Best Wishes and God bless.

Can you please tell me if they can be freezed and also how long can they be kept in the fridge after cooking? Thanks
They will keep in the fridge for about 5 days. I haven’t tried freezing mine because I always eat them straight away.
Have you ever tried to barbecue these burgers?
No, I think they would be too fragile. But my mushroom burgers will work 🙂
