Tofu Burgers

Tofu Burgers

Tofu Burgers what a great dish for the summer! I love these burgers, so filling and delicious. You can throw them on the BBQ or cook them in a skillet, either way they are going to be a winner!

Everyone loves a burger and your non vegan friends might be pleasantly surprised how good these are. You’ll start with marinating the tofu steaks and that’s what makes them so special.

Of course everyone can add on their own favourite fixings and personalize their burger to be just the way they love them.

Now let’s get started, summer is just around the corner…..

Tofu Burgers

I like to start marinating my tofu the night before so I get all that wonderful flavour in the steaks. However if you are pressed for time, a couple hours will certainly work too!

This recipe will make four tofu burgers, you would have enough marinade to make 8 burgers if you double the amount of tofu.

What you will need to make your Tofu Burgers:

• 1 Package Extra Firm Pressed  Tofu to make 4 tofu burgers (Non GMO and organic if possible)

For the marinade you’ll need:

• 1/2 c Tamari or Bragg Soy Seasoning

  

• 2 c water
• 2 T ground coriander
• 4 t Garlic Powder

Ingredients to assemble the burgers:

These are a few of my favourite toppings – really anything goes:

• Avocado slices
• Red onion slices
• Dill pickle slices
• Lettuce – romaine or any you have in your garden
• Tomatoes – juicy and red
• Vegan mayo,mustard, ketchup, relish (your choice)
• Buns – choose a bun you love

How to make your Tofu Burgers:

1. Cut your block of tofu in half and then lengthwise making four big slabs (steak style)

   

2. Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a container that will fit the steaks and the marinade and has a seal proof lid – mix well – your marinade is ready to go!
3. Add the tofu steaks to the marinade

   

   and allow to soak up the gorgeous flavours for a minimum of 2 hours – up to overnight.

4. I like to shake up the steaks and marinade to be sure all the pieces are getting equal coverage overall
5. When you are ready to cook. Heat up a fry pan till nice and hot (add a little oil), or heat up the BBQ –  your choice. If you rub a raw potato on the grill, it will help things to not stick to the grill
6. Remove the tofu steaks from the marinade and fry or BBQ until both sides of the tofu steaks are golden brown, yum!

   

7. Remove the steaks and prepare your bun with the ingredients you love. Enjoy!
