Calling all vegetarians! I need help!

I decided to make veggie burgers using ingredients that I had on hand which are: a rice blend, mushrooms, broccoli and a little asparagus. tossed a few cloves of garlic in too. What else do I need to make these burgers tasty?

Sounds pretty good as is. Onions and some herbs may give it a little kick as well.

Of you could go another route and add in some teriyaki sauce. Yum! If you did this you could add some finely chopped water chestnuts for crunch.

Good luck!

Thanks! I dd add onion, but forgot to mention it with the original ingredients.
I don't have any terriyaki sauce, but was thinking maybe I should just add grated Parmesan cheese. Does that sound OK? should I throw some grated carrots in too? Maybe just make it into a loaf type thing?

Can you tell I never did this before ?

Since you use cheese I'm assuming you eat all dairy. Maybe an egg will help bind the mix? Also, just a little fat (olive oil, maybe) can add a lot of flavor. Good luck.

Yum! Parmesan cheese would be awesome. That's a great flavor combination.

Grated carrots are always nice--they add moisture and sweetness.

I'l also echo the PP that if eggs are acceptable one or two beaten eggs added to the mix will help things hold together.
