Mission Burger Shares Its Recipe for the Dearly Departed Vegan Variety

The vegan burger in better days.

​Yesterday, SFoodie's Mary Ladd reported on the demise of Mission Burger's beloved vegan burger. Perhaps in response to an impassioned plea by Vegansaurus to reconsider ("We love that vegan burger more than we love animals, and we're vegan! That means we love animals a lot!"), MB kindly offered the site the recipe, which includes goodies like kale, maitake, shiitake, edamame, wakame -- and, apparently, some dearly departed magic.

Even the quickest glance at the time-consuming techniques evinces MB's claim that it was a real "labor of love." It's not total rocket science, but there's a small catch to trying it at home. The recipe makes 70 patties, so either get a whole bunch of friends together or break out the calculator and start dividing.

Come to think of it, these would probably freeze up rather nicely, which would make a full or half-recipe worth the time and effort for us amateur cooks to execute.
