Yield 8 Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup diced onions
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced red peppers
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon coriander
pinch or cayenne, or to taste
1 cake of firm tofu, pressed and crumbled
1 1/2 cups of cooked chickpeas (1 15 oz can drained)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Chopped scallions or thinly sliced onion rings
Yogurt Tahini Dressing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Generously oil a baking sheet. In a 9-inch skillet, saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. While the vegetables cook, combine the tofu, chickpeas, lemon juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil in the bowl of a food processor. Process unil well combined, but not a paste. It may be necessary to stir the contents once or twice, as it will be quite dry. Transfer the tofu mixture to a large bowl and add the sauteed vegetables, parsley, tahini, and salt. Mix everything together well with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, add up to 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Shape 1/2 cup portions of the burger mix into 8 patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden, juicy and firm. Decorate with scallions or onion rings and top with Yogurt Tahini Dressing.
