Vegetable And Tofu Burger Food

BEST EVER VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Process pinto beans, onion, brown rice, almonds, cashews, mushrooms, black olives, and garlic in batches in a food processor until completely chopped; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, egg, flaxseed, vegetable bouillon, and Worcestershire sauce into the bean mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Form bean mixture into 12 patties and arrange onto a non-stick baking sheet.
• Bake burgers in preheated oven for 10 minutes, turn, and continue baking until cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers in hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

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.

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.

THE ULTIMATE VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slabs and pat dry with paper towel. Arrange tofu on one half of a rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with oil. Spread mushrooms on the other half of the baking sheet; toss with 2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper.
• On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss beans and grated beet with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper, then spread the mixture into one layer.
• Transfer both baking sheets to the oven. Roast bean-beet mixture, tossing occasionally, until beans begin to split and beets are tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Roast mushrooms and tofu until golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes. Let everything cool.
• Place nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add cooled bean-beet mixture, mushrooms, tofu, panko, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, scallion, garlic, pimentón and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until ingredients are just combined. Pulse in tempeh and rice but do not overprocess. You want small chunks, not a smooth mixture. Scrape mixture into a bowl and chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days (you can also freeze the burger mix).
• When you are ready to make the burgers, divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Return to the fridge until just before grilling. They grill better when they start out cold.
• Heat the grill. Cook the burgers over a low fire until they are charred on both sides and firm when you press on them, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If they start to burn before they firm up, move them to the sides of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. Alternatively, you can cook these on a grill pan or in a skillet over low heat.

VEGETABLE AND TOFU BURGER

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

TOFU-MUSHROOM BURGERS (VEGETARIAN TIMES)

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.

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.

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.

GRILLABLE TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together and is free of most chunks, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor once or twice if needed. If it seems a bit thin to you, add more bread crumbs a handful at a time until everything comes together.
• Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and use your hands to (really) press and form into round but flat-ish patties. If you want larger burgers, shape into 4-5 patties. Allow to sit for ten minutes or so. You can also refrigerate at this point.
• If grilling, gently rub each patty with a bit of olive oil, and place on a medium hot grill. Grill, covered, usually 5-7 minutes on the first side, and 4-5 on the flip. Be sure the centers are cooked. If cooking on a stovetop, pour the olive oil into your largest skillet over medium-high heat, and arrange as many patties as you can without crowding. Cover, and cook turning once, until deeply browned on both sides. Roughly ten minutes. You want to make sure the middle of the patties cook through. If the pan is too hot you'll burn the outsides before the middle cooks up, so be mindful of that.
• Serve with your favorite burger fixings!

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.

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.
