TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Place tofu in freezer 72 hours ahead of time. To thaw, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Leave tofu in package and place in water for about 20 minutes.
• While tofu is thawing, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet. Saute onion and celery until soft and lightly browned. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
• When tofu is thawed, squeeze out excess water. Chop tofu finely and place in bowl with onion and celery. Mix in egg, cheese, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (oil should be 1/4 inch deep). Drop tofu mixture into pan in 6 equal portions. Flatten with a spatula to form patties. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden.

SMOKED TOFU VEGAN BURGER

Steps:

• Put the sweet potato in a microwaveable bowl, cover with cling film and cook on high for 3 mins until soft. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the onion with a big pinch of salt until soft, around 5 mins. Add the garlic and spices and cook for 2 mins more, then set aside. Blitz the tofu with the cashews in a blender, then tip in the sweet potato and fried onions. Season and blitz again until combined. Shape into four burger patties and set aside in the fridge on a lined baking tray while you make the slaw.
• Make the slaw by combining the ingredients in a bowl, then set aside until needed. When you're ready to fry the patties, mix the mustard with the soy milk in one bowl, then mix the remaining coating ingredients in another bowl. In turn, take each patty and dip into the flour mixture, then into the soy milk mixture, then back into the flour mixture. Repeat this again so you get a really nice crust on the patties.
• Pour the vegetable oil into a large frying pan over a medium-high heat - you want the oil to come about 2cm up the side of the pan. Once hot, use a spatula to carefully add the patties and gently fry for 1 min on each side until crispy, then leave to drain on kitchen paper. Serve the burgers in burger buns, topped with the slaw and drizzled with the mayo.

TOFU & VEGETABLE PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the oils in a large bowl with some seasoning and mix well. Heat both the oils in a frying pan. Grease an 8cm metal pastry ring or cookie cutter and place in the pan. When hot, pour 5 tbsp of the batter in and turn the heat down to medium.
• Cook 4-5 mins until golden, then take off the ring (be careful, as it may be hot), flip the pattie and cook the other side. Do this in batches, keeping finished patties warm in a low oven. Serve with the chilli sauce and extra spring onions, if you like.

PATTY'S TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in the tofu, celery, onion, chili powder, cumin, curry paste, garlic, and oats with your hands until the tofu has broken into fine pieces, and the mixture is evenly blended. Form into 8 patties.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until crispy and golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side.

MEGA VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Wrap the tofu in a clean tea towel, then squeeze and wring it out to remove the excess liquid (about 4 tablespoons should come out - it's messy, but really important to do this for great burger texture later).
• Place the tofu in a bowl, scraping it off the tea towel. Crack in the egg, then add the breadcrumbs and Marmite. Mix and scrunch together really well with clean hands, then shape into 4 even-sized patties that'll fit nicely in your buns once cooked.
• Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a dry non-stick frying pan on a high heat with a pinch of black pepper, a splash of water and the vinegar.
• Squash the tomatoes with a potato masher, cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until thick and delicious, then tear in the basil leaves and season to perfection (I sometimes add a pinch of dried red chilli flakes too, for a kick).
• If you want to plump up your buns, pop them into a warm oven for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely slice or prep all the salad veg.
• Next, pick the basil leaves into a blender and blitz with all the other dressing ingredients and a pinch of salt and pepper until super-smooth.
• Place 2 teaspoons of oil in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Pick the rosemary leaves into the pan in four piles, place the patties on top and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
• Slice or grate the cheese, place on the patties, reduce the heat to low, then cover and leave to melt for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spread the tomato sauce into the buns, then sandwich the cheesy burgers and sliced gherkins inside.
• Toss the salad with half the dressing (save the rest for another day), serve alongside the burgers and enjoy - totally awesome.

VEGAN TOFU VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Serve on the vegan buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy.

TOFU BURGER

Steps:

• Put the tofu on to press for 20 minutes. Either use a tofu press or place the tofu on a plate with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top like a heavy pot.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• When pressed, cut the tofu into four square burgers.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the tofu burgers evenly on the parchment paper and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the tofu over after 15 minutes.
• Mix up the marinade sauce by adding soy sauce, maple syrup, peanut butter and garlic powder to a bowl and whisking together.
• When the burgers have finished baking, brush marinade sauce generously onto both sides of the burgers and leave them to marinate for 5 minutes.
• Heat up a pan with a little oil and when hot, add the tofu burgers to the pan and fry on each side until golden.
• Brush on more marinade sauce while the tofu is frying. The tofu burgers are ready to serve.
• Mushroom sauce: Add sliced mushrooms and soy sauce to a skillet, cover with a lid and turn the heat to medium high.
• When the mushrooms have released their water and are bubbling away remove the lid and let the excess water cook off.
• When the water is mostly evaporated, pour in the coconut cream and bring to a simmer.
• Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a little coconut cream or water until smooth.
• Pour it into the sauce and mix it in. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens.
• Prepare your hamburger buns, adding lettuce, sliced tomato and pickles.
• Add the tofu burger, top it with mushroom sauce and serve.

CHICKPEA-TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a bowl.
• Using a large fork or spoon, mash the ingredients together. (Alternatively, a blender can be used.).
• When it's mashed enough so you can mold the mix into patties without it falling apart, do so! I made patties about the size of my palm, but they can be any size you want.
• Heat up a frying pan with some olive oil in it. You might need to add more or less depending on the size of the pan, and how many patties you've made.
• Carefully place the patties into the pan. Heat them for about 3 minutes, or until they're brown on the bottom. Flip them over, and go for 3 minutes again.
• When they're done, take them off carefully with a spatula! Serve them up with some mozzarella cheese on whole-wheat bread. I think they taste best after microwaved for 30 seconds.

THE BEST TOFU BURGER

Steps:

• Combine in food processor til well combined but not mushy.
• Form into 8 patties.
• Fry 5 mins per side until brown and crispy.
• or bake 20-25 min @ 375.
• I served mine with arugula, tomato, red onion and goat cheese. What an awesome combination.

VEGAN MUSHROOM TOFU VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Press tofu: wrap tofu block in paper towels or a kitchen towel and sandwich between two plates. Set a heavy object on the top plate and set aside.
• Place mushroom, garlic cloves, shallot, and onion in the food processor. Pulse until mushrooms are in very small chunks.
• Place skillet on low-medium heat. Once warm, add olive oil and mushroom mixture. Cook until liquid is absorbed.
• Add mushroom mixture to mixing bowl. Add worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, ground flaxseed, salt, and pepper. Add pressed tofu and let cool before crumbling with hands. Mix until well combined.
• Use 1/2 cup and form into patties. It should make about 6. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before handling. This helps the patty from falling apart. Serve with toasted hamburger buns, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and secret sauce.

IRISH COFFEE POTS DE CRèME

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil. In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, espresso powder, a pinch of salt, semisweet chips and whiskey using the low setting. Pour in the boiling milk in a slow stream. The hot milk will cook the egg and melt the chocolate. Process or blend for 1 minute, until smooth. Spoon into teacups or champagne glasses and chill. When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in the remaining tablespoon of sugar and combine. Top the chocolate-filled teacups with whipped cream. Place the cups on the saucers and serve with teaspoons.
