Think meatless has to mean boring? These delicious patties, made with earthy portabella mushrooms and hearty kasha, defy the bland reputation of vegetarian burgers. A fiery dollop of chipotle mayonnaise makes them even more irresistible.

Cooks' note:

Patties can be formed, without bread-crumb coating, 12 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
