Ah nice, I've seen Kenjis recipe but haven't tried it, thanks. I even have his recipe book which I haven't used enough of.

I have his book, The Food Lab.

It's an awesome cook book, I need to dig back into it.

One could spend a lifetime exploring it.

Very true.

I've played around with making veggie burgers with mushrooms. You can get surprisingly close to the texture of beef. And mushrooms pretty much take whatever flavor you add to it. The problem I run into is the mixture has to be pureed and you end up with a sticky mix that you have to shape as you drop it into the pan. They were still delicious.

Are they mushy in texture and mouth feel?

Not after you cook them. They have that ground beef feel. Obviously not an exact analogue but close enough.

Recipe?

I used this as a starting point. I don't think I added all the veggies. But I do remember now using pinto beans as the binder.
