Tofu Burgers
This recipe is an excellent introduction to cooking with tofu.
Ingredients
- 8 3/4 oz tofu
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp sherry
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (not bread yeast)
- 1 medium sized onion, diced finely
- 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1/4 cup wholewheat flour
Directions:
Remove tofu from its package and stand on a sloping board for a few minutes, allowing any excess liquid to drain away.
Crumble tofu into a bowl, add garlic and onion, then the remaining ingredients.
Mix together well, then working with wet hands, divide the mixture into quarters, then eighths. Shape each portion into a 3 to 4-inch patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet; cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are golden brown.
