Since I didn't make it clear, the goal here is that you don't really need to serve these fancy vegan burger things on a bun. You can of course! But the thing that makes them good is that they are packed with flavor, and being on a bun hides that. They're more interesting as their own flavor, so the goal of this recipe is to let them do all the work of the main, highly flavorful protein and put the effort into a delicious side, and the two things together deliver a really wonderful meal.
