Vegetarian Burger
Ingredients
1/2 cup corn kernels
7 mushrooms, diced
3 scallions (green onions), diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 carrot grated
1 small potato, grated
1/4 cup silken (soft) tofu
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Directions
In a blender or food processor, process tofu until creamy and set aside. Next, sauté the corn, mushrooms, scallions and bell pepper in one tablespoon of oil for 3 to 5 minutes, add the garlic and cumin and cook for one more minute. Remove from heat and add carrot, potato, tofu, salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs until the mixture holds together. You may need a little bit more or less than half a cup of breadcrumbs. Shape the mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least one hour. Heat remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and cook each patty until the veggie burgers are done, about 3 minutes on each side.
