Victoria Schiloni, who owns and operates a vegetarian catering service in Philadelphia, offered this Basic Bean Burger along with a peanut-y variation.
Pour boiling water over textured soy protein and tomato paste in a bowl. Stir and let rest for 10 minutes. In food processor, combine textured soy protein mixture and remaining ingredients except for flour. Pulse until mixture is almost a puree. Dust hands with flour and shape mixture into 6 burgers. Dust them lightly in flour. Layer the burgers with sheets of waxed paper and refrigerate for at least one hour. Cook on a gill covered with foil for about 10 minutes on each side.
