TOFU-MUSHROOM BURGERS (VEGETARIAN TIMES)



Tofu-Mushroom Burgers (Vegetarian Times) image

I wanted a tofu burger that didn't come out of the freezer section of a grocery store. This recipe came out of a 1997 issue of Vegetarian times and it is one that I have used repeatedly. The author suggests serving these burgers on a garlic bun with hoisin sauce, tomato slices, and chopped cilantro but I have always served them on a whole wheat bun with sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions, fresh spinach, tomato slices, and a creamy dijon.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 patties, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
14 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and cubed
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon green chili paste (I have also used red)
1 1/2 cups cooked basmati rice (I use brown basmati)
1 large egg
1/2-1 cup plain breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until golden. Add mushrooms, tofu, and curry paste, and cook, stirring once or twice, until mushrooms are softened. Remove vegetables with slotted spoon. If any liquid remains, cook uncovered until thickened; add to vegetables and allow to cool.
  • After everything has cooled, combine vegetables, tofu, egg, and rice in a food processor until blended (I use a potato masher since I do not have a food processor). Transfer to large bow and mix in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to form a consistency which will allow patties to be formed. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Shape mixture into 3 inch patties (1/2 an inch thick), add extra bread crumbs if needed to hod patties together.
  • Prepare grill or preheat broiler. I put them on a pam-sprayed health grill for about 4-6 minutes, or until both sides are lightly browned. They can also be broiled on a lightly greased broiler pan or cookie sheet for about 6-8 minutes per side. Broil about 3-5 inches from the heat.

This is super fast and absolutely delicious meat free burger! Mushrooms and cheddar are the star of this burger! I will also be posting a recipe using these patties as a dinner as well.

Categories     Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs, beaten
2 c chopped mushrooms ( i used baby portalella's)
1/2 c bread crubs ( i use italian flavored)
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese ( i used colby/jack)
1/2 c minced onion
1/4 c flour
1/4 tsp thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Using a food processor makes this recipe quicker then going through a drive through for a burger! I put the onion and mushrooms in the processor and processed until finely chopped.
  • 2. Crack the 2 eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl. Beat them then mix all the ingredients in the bowl. Form into 4 patties.
  • 3. Fry in a tablespoon of olive oil, over medium high heat, 3 minutes per side. Delicious and healthy!
