Summer Burgers
vegan - see method
These are excellent at any time of the year. Try adding varying ingredients such as vegetarian pesto, finely chopped spring onions, grated cheese or try using smoked tofu instead.


Ingredients

1 packet firm tofu, drained
100g/4oz sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped
30ml/2tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
2.5ml/½tsp mustard powder
30ml/2tbsp soy sauce
5ml/1tsp tomato purée
25g/1oz fresh breadcrumbs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
15ml/1tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
100g/4oz mushrooms, finely chopped
seasoned flour

Method

1. Mash the tofu thoroughly in a bowl, with a fork.

2. Add the sun dried tomatoes, coriander, mustard powder, soy sauce, tomato purée, breadcrumbs, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Leave to one side.

3. Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, gently heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and mushrooms until soft.

4. Add to the tofu mixture and allow to cool.

5. If the mixture is too wet to hold together, add sufficient flour until the mixture can hold its shape.

6. Shape the mixture into six large burgers, or ten small, coat with seasoned flour.

7. Chill until ready to use.

8.Brush each burger lightly with oil. Barbecue each side until cooked.

9. Serve in a bread bun with melted cheese (*omit for vegans) and salad, or serve with barbecue sauce.
