So I had a pack of tofu in the fridge which was about to expire, and I though, what to do? Hmm...tofu burgers! I grabbed some ingredients, threw them together in my wonderful food proccessor. Added eggs. Made the burgers, let them cool in the fridge, fried them and voila, DELICIOUS and healthy burgers!
Ingredients:
-a packet of tofu
-3 pieces of garlic
-1/2 onion
-1/2 green pepper
-2 carrots
-2 zucchini
-2 eggs
-hot paprika
-salt
-fresh parsley
-oil for frying.
If you have a food processor, then this is super easy. If you don't you will have to cut/grate where I used one. Throw the tofu, onion, garlic, pepper and parsley in the food processor and chop up ingredients. Remove the knife attachment and add the grating attachment. Grate the carrots and zucchini. Pour everything in a bowl and add the salt and paprika. Mix in 2 eggs. Form hamburgers and put them on an oiled tray and allow to cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Put 1/4 inch of oil (I used olive but you can use vegetable or sunflower) in a pan and heat up. Fry the burgers on medium/low heat until
brown on each side. Make sure to not fry the burgers too high or they will cook on the outside, and be raw in the middle.Enjoy on a hamburger bun or your favourite toasted bread with lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc. and your favourite sauce like ketchup, spicy mustard and mayonnaise!
