Homemade Tofu Burger
This homemade tofu burger is delicious, packed with plant protein, and perfect for the warmer months.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup brown lentils, dry
- 12 ounces fava bean tofu or super firm tofu
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Boil lentils in salted water for 30 minutes or until soft. Then, add all the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse for 1 to 2 minutes until it forms a mixture that holds its shape. Taste the mixture and add any extra seasonings to your preference. The chickpea flour does give it a bit of an earthy taste that will go away once cooked.
- Divide the mixture into 4 servings (or as many vegan burgers as you would like to make).
- Use clean hands that are lightly wet to form the mixture into a ball. Then press it onto a square of parchment paper as thick as you like it.
- Heat up the oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Cook the patties on each side for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Then, finish cooking in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the patty looks browned all the way around.
- Now, use your tofu burgers however you like.
