Tofu Burgers: Quick and Easy Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe from Savvy Vegetarian Kitchen

Tofu Burgers (Vegan)

Here's a sure way to get your kids or anyone else to eat tofu. This quick, easy & tasty vegetarian recipe is a favorite with all our family & friends. It makes 8 good sized patties. You can improvise freely with the seasonings & the grains. But if you want onions, use them on the outside, not the inside - too wet. Use all your favorite burger fixings.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb firm tofu
• 1/4 c each whole wheat flour, corn flour, & rolled oats
• 1/2 c parsley tops or fresh basil leaves, washed & dried
• 1 tsp each paprika, coriander, cumin
• 1/2 tsp dried basil or thyme
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• pinch cayenne
• 1/2 tsp salt and/or 1 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Slice tofu in 6-8 slices. Place in a folded dishtowel, cover with a cutting board, weighted with something heavy. Leave for ten minutes. This dries out the tofu so the mixture isn't gooey.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium with olive oil, or your favorite cooking oil. I add a pinch of asefetida (hing) to the oil for extra flavor. Garlic works too if you like it.
3. Break tofu into chunks, and add to food processor. If you don't have one, mash by hand or with a potato masher, and finely chop the parsley or basil first.
4. Throw in everything else and mix well by hand, or on low in the food processor just until it all clumps up.
5. Form into thin patties, and fry in small amount of oil, on medium heat, 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
