We used the idea of adding walnuts from our favorite recipe for veggie burgers. Walnuts add a lovely meatiness and texture to the vegetarian burger patties. Try cashews, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, blanched almonds, or pecans instead if you don’t like or eat walnuts. For burgers without nuts, leave them out.
