Wow! With black-eyed peas, cornbread and collards, you could serve this on New Year’s Day and still get in all the requirements for luck for they year! lol I love polenta but was not introduced to it until I lived in France, where it served as a sort of cornbread substitute for me. Sometimes you just have to take into consideration that not everyone is adventurous or appreciative of new tastes when it comes to cuisine…sad, but true…like people who go to Paris and eat at McDonald’s. 🙁 And certainly not your fault! Sounds like a great dish!…hugs…Debbie
Thanks Debbie. I was thinking the same thing when I was making this. I knew I would like all the flavors, but was not sure if when I put my spin on it, but it is really delicious. The raw kale and the Comeback Sauce brightened it up. Thanks for stopping by.
Polenta is basically mush, I guess, but so what? It’s awfully good no matter what you all it. I mean a souffle is basically flour and eggs! And no one turns up their nose at that. Anyway, nice burger. Good post – thanks.
Thanks John. You are so right, but I have to say she made a lasting impression on me.
This burger hits all the right southern notes. I like polenta (and grits) and think both are great bases for many things–your burger included.
Thanks so much Michelle. Any combination of polenta/grits, black-eyed peas, and greens is a winner to me. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I think this is a very fun and interesting burger. I found out this summer when we were shooting some burgers that they are supposedly one of the most difficult things to photoraph. You did a great job, the picture with the sauce is so enticing!
Chris, this burger is delicious with this sauce. I have several recipes that taste good, but I have not been successful with the photography and I am afraid no one will trust me if I post. I just keep trying.
You and Scott are such a great pair. Did I not tell you a long time ago the photos were magazine worthy? Even my family is rooting for you guys.
Hi Madonna,
What a good looking veggie burger you’ve shared with us. The sauce sounds delicious and I’ve never heard of Come Back Sauce. I think the polenta sounds perfect for the dish and I’m like you, I love it.
Thanks Kitty. I hope you will give it a try.
Mmmm, this sounds so wonderful. And I love the veganese. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.

Wow, it doesn’t get more southern than black-eyed peas and cornbread. You are talking this ole Southern girl’s language. You really went all out when you cooked your own beans. Great meal and I agree with you, labeling it vegetarian can turn “certain” people off and I know one of them 🙂
Have a great weekend.

I was hoping no one would take offense over the kale as opposed to collards. As for cooking my own beans that is a whole other story. I started to buy canned, but I could not find any. Then I tried to buy dry and the last bag on the shelf had a hole in it. The manager said come back tomorrow when they would be restocked. Turns out to be a blessing – they were so fresh that they cooked in no time. My biggest problem was working out the photography of each step. Oh, and Sam if you can find a way to add some ham I would not be adverse – you know for the meat lovers, ahem….
Did you say Black Eyed Peas, yes I will just love this burger and that sauce looks heavenly, I can sure see why it is called come back! Hope you are having a great day and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
Come Back Soon,
Miz Helen
This is a perfect meatless day meal and the combination just makes it. I loved the sauce and thought its name was great.
I love kale in soup but have never tried it raw in a salad. Your whole meal looks delicious. I can think of many ways to use the Comeback Sauce. I have seen recipes for it but have never tried it. Lovely meal.
I got the idea of using raw kale from Aarti Sequeira from Foodnetwork. She makes it with mango. I did cut it really really fine and removed the ribs. The Comeback Sauce apparently is famous in the South and is new to me.
How adventurous of you..The burgers look delih in their mall circular molds..
Talk about southern hospitality. This is such an unusual dish that sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
I love Comeback Sauce!! The story I know is that once you taste it you’ll come back for more! Very cool vegetarian spin on the traditional sauced and dressed hamburger~ I love your kale salad also~what a healthy meal!
Oh Jenna, I am so happy you commented on the Comeback Sauce. I have been very curious about it. I think I remember tasting it once when I was in the South, but my memory is fuzzy. I remember tasting it, but not where – I think it was on a hamburger.
Yes I agree, the title is not something I would be drawn to but these look fabulous.
Wonderful to have you at Seasonal Sundays.

I know some people are reticent about vegetarian, but if you will eat beans you will like this, and polenta makes everything taste better.
There’s nothing quite like Southern food and this all sounds delicious to me. Comeback sauce is new to me and I’ll definitely give it a go! Thanks for the recipe!
I had not heard of the sauce before either, but I think you could put it on anything and brighten the flavor. I hope you will give it a try.
LOL!!! I was cracking up as I read this post!!! I love your substitutions and I think the burger would be terrific over polenta (hey, if it’s good enough for Mario Battali I don’t know what Betty’s issue with it was!). Have bookmarked this recipe for my vegetarian class!!
I have to tell you I was not laughing. I have no idea why she was mad at me. I love polenta. I thought this dish turned out well and the soy-free vegenaise I thought was better than Best or Hellemans. I hope your class likes it and if you make it and make any substitution let me know if I can improve it.
Oh this all looks sooooooooooooooo good. Don’t forget to link up to my Holiday Baking Party on the 20th. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, marty
I’m a vegetarian and this is sooooooooo perfect for me 🙂
You’ve got me hungry now, and I’m craving one of these burgers!!
I hope you will give it a try. It hits all the taste buds. If you make it I hope you will let me know. Thanks for visiting.
Hi Madonna! I have a vegetarian friend who is going to love this recipe! Heck I’m not vegetarian and I have one of these burgers! Thank You so much for sharing! I’m pinning and will let my friend know to head this way and check it out for herself! YUMMO! have an awesome weekend!
I am always reluctant to label anything vegetarian because people tend to think you want them to never have meat again. I just felt that this is a hardy meal if you want to have a meatless meal. I hope you and your friends give it a try.
I’m not a vegetarian but sometimes I crave just a great veggie meal for dinner and this looks perfect!
Thanks Pamela. Yes, I thought it was a perfect meatless meal. I am not trying to convert myself or anyone else, but this was pretty satisfying.
