Veggie Burgers a la Fortune Cookie


Extra Firm Tofu
Whole wheat flour
Ground cumin
Salt
Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
Garlic
Soy Sauce
Oregano
Parsley


drain excess water from tofu, leaving it very moist. combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adding flour and mashing until you have a nice, firm doughy ball. Use spices ad-lib. Season to taste. Cover and set in fridge for at least 1 hour. When ready to cook, form patties from the ball just as you would to make burgers. you can run your hands under water first to prevent the tofu from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with. brush the patties with soy sauce and sprinkle some seasonings of your choice on the tops.

Grill or cook in skillet as you would hamburger. Be sure to use no-stick spray or olive oil. Cook until firm to the touch.

Even the carnivorous, picky, persnickety Wifester proclaimed "MMMMM! Good burgers, honey!"
