FIRM vegie burger recipe? (Vegan)?!


Question: I've been experimenting with making my own vegie burgers lately, but I just can't seem to make them firm. :( I'm vegan, so I can't use eggs as a binder, and I don't have that egg-replacer stuff. It scares me somewhat..

Do you guys have any favourite tried and true recipes for firm vegie burgers?

Thanks in advance!

1 cup button mushrooms, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 carrot, peeled, chopped
2 tbs pecan nuts or unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup whole-wheat or brown bread, grated
2 tbs parsley
1 tsp yeast extract like "marmite"
salt and freshly ground black pepper
a little flour for shaping

Cook mushrooms in a non-stick frying pan without oil, stirring for five to eight minutes to remove all moisture.

Place onion, zucchini, carrot and nuts in a food processor and process until just beginning to bind together.

Stir in mushrooms, bread crumbs, parsley, yeast extract and seasoning.

Shape into patties using a little cake flour. Chill to firm for an hour.

Preheat a non-stick frying pan with very little oil and cook burger until golden brown, turning once. They can also be cooked under a preheated grill for eight to ten minutes, turning once.

I have used tofu as a substitute for egg in other recipes and it still worked well.
