Tvp Veggie Burgers image

I tried to recreate the veggie burgers that McMaster University's Bridges Cafe serves, and I think I've pretty much got it with this recipe.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 30m

Yield 6 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups textured vegetable protein (dehydrated soy)
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons ketchup
Worcestershire sauce
soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
3 finely chopped garlic cloves
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup flour

Steps:

  • Stir TVP into boiling water in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add ketchup, Worcestershire, soy (appx. 2 tsp), salt, herbs and spices.
  • Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Heat carrots, celery, onion, garlic and basic in a little oil in a skillet, until JUST softened.
  • Mix veggies into TVP mixture, slowly adding flour until the mixture holds its own shape (like a mix between dough and ground beef).
  • Shape into 6 patties (1/2 inch think or so).
  • Cook in frying pan in a bit of oil until both sides are hardened up and darkened.
  • I've tried adding chili powder to the oil in the pan before cooking the patties, and it adds nice flavour.
  • Also, when shaping the final mixture, it really helps to wet your hands with a bit of water to prevent it sticking.
