Tofu

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds tofu, extra firm -- mashed with a fork

2 cups whole grain bread crumbs -- fine

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 stalks celery -- chopped very fine

2 medium carrots -- chopped very fine

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup unbleached white flour OR

whole wheat pastry flour

 

Drain the tofu and wrap in several layers of white paper towels. Let

sit or press with something heavy for about 15 minutes.

 

Peel the carrots and process in food processor until very, very fine.

Do the same with the celery, separately.

 

Mash the tofu with a fork or process in the food processor. Add all

the other ingredients and mix well. Form into whatever size burgers

you like.

 

Brown the burgers in a nonstick frying pan with a bit of olive oil

spray or a touch of olive oil.

NOTES : I have a mini-chopper food processor and I use that for the

carrots and celery. It does a nice job of getting the carrots and

celery very, very fine. My kids don't like to see " things " in their

burgers. :-)

 

To make the bread crumbs, I toast some bread ends and then break them

into pieces and process in the food processor until very fine. I like

" Italian " style bread crumbs so I add a bit of garlic powder, onion

powder, Italian seasoning, and a good portion of parsley (until it looks

right).

 

I add a bit more bread crumbs or cornmeal if the mixture seems a bit too

" mushy. "
