Makes 8 good sized patties:
This quick, easy, kid-friendly vegetarian tofu burger recipe is a sure way to get your kids or anyone else to eat tofu. Tofu burgers are a favorite with all our family and friends.
Half the tofu burger recipe if you're a small family, or save the leftover mix for sloppy joes, or scambled tofu. Improvise freely with the seasonings and the grains. But if you want onions, use them on the outside, not the inside - too wet.
Add all your favorite veggie burger fixings, fries, corn on the cob, whatever you like. Or go healthy, and serve the patties with steamed veggies and brown rice.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb extra 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:
- 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.
- 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 thin patties, and fry in small amount of oil, on medium heat, 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
