    My husband loved these! I added a small amount of chopped jalepeno pepper and a few shakes of chipolte panko bread crumbs! These were to die for...a keeper for sure...

    It was delicious and so easy!! this is a recipe i used to make a vegi burger. As a vegetarian its hard to fill the craving for a burger. this was perfect. Though it doesnt taste like meat by any means it gives you that burger feel when you put it in a bun with that guacamole! delicious. thanks emeril

    I will make these again, but next time:
    - more spice/essence
    - more lime juice in the crema
    - more guacamole for dipping other things (chips, etc.
    - smaller bean cakes (they're really dense
    Good start, though!

    The family likes this one either hot or cold, and it's great for picnics, and summer dinners. Its a great favorite when visiting our vegetarian relatives, as I simply leave out the ham hocks.

    I'm alergic to wheat, spelt flour worked great, just need more. Makes teriffic patties for bean burgers. A recipe I'll use over and over.

    Definitely a delicious recipe but the mixture was so sticky it was hard to make attractive patties. I just called it rustic and tossed it into a tortilla to make a wonderful vegetarian taco - my friends all loved it.

    These were great for a party I had last night. I ended up having to use more flour with the puree and beans than the recipe called for in order to make it manageable enough to form balls. I formed the balls and dregdged them in flour and then set them on a wax paper lined baking sheet until I was ready to cook them--but I ended up having to reshape them when I picked them up. But all of the work was worth it--almost everyone took a second one!
