Vegetable and Tofu Burger Recipe

Posted on 23. Jun, 2009 by admin in Veggie Burgers

“These are veggie burgers with a kick! Shredded carrots and zucchini are combined with tofu, onion, celery, egg, bread crumbs, basil and curry paste. Serve on a bun, if desired.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 carrot, shredded
* 1 zucchini, shredded
* 1 (10 ounce) package silken tofu
* 1 small yellow onion, diced
* 1 celery, finely chopped
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
* 2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
* 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
* 1 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Press carrot and zucchini between paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a medium bowl combine carrots, zucchini, tofu, onion, celery, egg, bread crumbs and curry paste.
2. Chop 2/3 of the basil and add it to the tofu mixture. Mix well and form into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve with remaining basil leaves.
