Sandwich Recipes
INDIAN SPICED BLACK BEAN & TOFU BURGERS
1/4 red onion, roughly chopped
1 bell pepper, cored, cut into pieces
6 ounces fresh mushroom of your choice
One, 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 t garam masala
1/2 t or sea salt
6 ounces soft silken tofu (I prefer Mori-nu brand)
1 c panko bread crumbs
2 t coconut oil
12 burger buns
mayonnaise
2 c fresh arugula
6 ounces goat cheese
Pulse the first six ingredients in a food processor until the mixture becomes finely minced.
Drain the tofu and pat dry. With a large spoon, mix the tofu and the panko bread crumbs into the patty mixture. You can taste the mixture and add additional garam masala seasoning or salt, if needed. Refrigerate the patty mixture for at least 20 minutes (or overnight). The mixture should be moist, but just firm enough to hold a patty shape - if it is too wet, mix in 1/4 additional bread crumbs. Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties.
When ready to cook, heat a frying pan over medium heat and swirl in the cooking oil. When hot, carefully add as many patties that can fit without touching. Fry each side until it is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Assemble the patties onto each bun with mayonnaise, arugula and cheese. Steamy Kitchen
