My daughter is a vegetarian so I am always looking for great veggie recipes and this is definitely a keeper. The burgers are very tasty. We chilled the burgers before frying and they held their shape and didn't break apart. Thanks for posting.

    I was going to post this recipe, and found that it's already here. This recipe is from the show "Cooking Thin" with Kathleen Daelemans. The recipe is pretty much word for word from the foodnetwork.com website. It's from her episode of Cooking Thin titled "Go Mom Go, Part 2". I thought she should get credit for it. The only differences are that there are no mushrooms in her original recipe, and she states just to put the onions in the saucepan with the stock, bring to boil, then add the bulgur, etc, and turn off the heat. And to just coat the pan with cooking spray when cooking the burgers. So she avoids the oil. Anyway, Kathleen is great and this is a great recipe. I made them up through step 9, then flash froze them individually on a cookie sheet, then wrapped and stored them in the freezer. I took them out when needed the night before to thaw, and heated them in the pan from step 10. This is a keeper!

    These were really good. I could not get them to stick together at first though, and I was terribly dissapointed because the taste was so good. I ended up adding 2 eggs to the mix which worked well and then cooked them on a griddle. I realized what my problem was, though. I had really hard chickpeas and I did not crush them well at all (because I couldn't get them to crush!). So remember to crush your chickpeas, or add an egg! Thanks Sharon. Really tasty!
