Burgers: Pour about three-quarters of the Romano beans into large bowl; mash with fork. Stir in remaining beans along with egg, dry bread crumbs, chili sauce and green onion. Shape into 4 patties. (To make ahead,wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) In non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook patties, turning once, for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
Lemon Aioli: Peel and finely mince the garlic or use a garlic press. Place the garlic in a 2 cup or larger bowl. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the bowl. Add the mayonnaise and oil and stir well to blend. Serve at once or refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 days.
You could also use orange zest and juice in place of the lemon.

Quinoa is a great source of protein and fiber. These quinoa burgers are a great alternative to meat. They taste great and are healthy for you. Cooking Quinoa: Bring 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil. Add 1 cup quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed. Gently fluff with fork and cool for a few minutes.
Preparing Burgers: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Heat a few tsp. of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop mixture into the pan and use a fork to flatten into "patties" (approx. 1/2 inch thick). Fry burgers until golden brown, cooking for approx. 4 minutes on each side.

I need a recipe for veggie burgers like the kind I usually buy in the frozen section of the market. The last time I tried to make my own they fell apart.

Our Perfect Veggie Burger
http://ohsheglows.com/2011/07/13/our-perfect-veggie-burger/
Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
Flax eggs: 2.5 tbsp. ground flax + 1/2 cup warm water, mixed in bowl
1 cup oats, processed into flour* (other flours might work)
1.5 cups bread crumbs
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and roughly pureed or mashed
Heaping 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (or fresh herb of choice)
1/3 cup almonds, chopped (toasted if preferred)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, (toasted if preferred)
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1.5 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp. kosher salt)
Directions:
In a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic in 1/2 tbsp. oil. Mix your flax egg and all the seasonings together in a small bowl and set aside for at least 10 mins while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Place all ingredients (except spices and salt) into a large mixing bowl and stir very well. Add the flax egg/seasonings and mix well.
With slightly wet hands, shape dough into patties. Pack dough tightly as this will help it stick together. I made 8 medium patties.
Cooking methods: Our preferred method of cooking was frying in the skillet!!
My notes:
I use chopped toasted walnuts and almonds instead of sunflower seeds. I also add a couple of good squirts of BBQ sauce into the mix. It gives great flavor.
I also mix ALL the seasonings in with the flax egg. That way the seasonings are evenly distributed. I don't always follow the recipe exactly, I add various other things to it based on what I have in my fridge at the time. But roughly chopped toasted walnuts are awesome in this! They give great crunch.
I have found that using the food processor works great. The beans get all smooth and much easier to handle. Just smashing with the potato masher didn't work well for me at all! You may have to add more breadcrumbs if it's too wet. Panko works great too.
I have a burger press that I use so that the burgers are all the same size and they fit the bun.
When frying, be sure to cook them long enough to get a nice brown crust on the outside. They don't fall apart so easily, plus they look like "real" hamburgers!
Experiment with your burgers...I never make them the same way twice!
