This quick, easy, kid-friendly vegetarian tofu burger recipe is a sure
way to get your kids or anyone else to eat tofu. Tofu burgers are a

Half the tofu
burger recipe if you're a small family, or save the leftover mix for
sloppy joes, or scambled tofu.
Ingredients:
1 lb extra firm tofu
1/4 c each whole wheat flour, corn flour, & rolled oats
1/2 c parsley tops or fresh basil leaves, washed & dried
1 tsp each paprika, coriander, cumin
1/2 tsp dried basil or thyme
1/4 tsp ginger
pinch cayenne
1/2 tsp salt and/or 1 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
Instructions:
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium with olive oil, or your favorite
cooking oil. I add a pinch of asefetida (hing) to the oil for extra
flavor. Garlic works too if you like it.
Cut tofu into 1 inch chunks, and add to food processor. If you don't
have one, mash by hand or with a potato masher, and finely chop the
parsley or basil first.
Throw in everything else and mix well by hand, or on low in the food
processor just until it all clumps up.
Form into thin patties, and fry in small amount of oil, on medium heat,
5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
