Sunflower-Veggie Tofu Burgers image

a delicious, easy veggie burger. the colour is lovely, and the flavour and texture satisfies both the omnivore and the vegetarian! adapted from a shoppers drug mart promo magazine from a few years back...(which says it adapted it from anne lindsay's "new light cooking"). although quick enough prepared with a box grater, the prep is especially easy when grated through a food processor!
