Before making these burgers, I couldn’t remember the last time a made veggie burgers that I actually liked. The earthy flavors of the mushrooms and leeks combine with the bright tasting fresh parsley to send these burgers to the top of the charts.
If you like these made on a skillet you are going to love them made on a grill during the summer. The smokey essence is perfect.
The tart and creamy tahini sauce is a great addition to these burgers, whether you are serving them on a bed of greens or on buns for the big game.
