This tofu burger recipe makes a great burger. Zac made it tonight. It’s far lighter than the traditional beef burger and I loved the various textures that combined, delivered a mouth-watering experience.
Ingredients:
1 lb extra firm tofu
1/4 cup whole wheat flour,
1/4 cup fine cornmeal
1/4 cups quick 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
Directions:
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium with olive oil, or your favorite cooking oil
Add a pinch of asafetida (hing) or a crushed garlic clove to the oil for extra flavor
Cut tofu into 1 inch 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
Throw in everything else and mix well by hand, or on low in the food processor just until it all clumps up
Form into eight 3 – 4 inch patties
Fry in small amount of oil, on medium heat, 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown
