Broccoli Tofu Burger Recipe

Ingredients to make 4 burgers:

• 200 gr broccoli
• 200 gr firm tofu
• 1/2 medium onion (about 50 gr)
• 6-8 fesh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
• Salt

Instructions:

1. Frist we have to dry the tofu, we will need some paper towels, place the tofu over a couple paper towels and press every side with more paper towels (be careful because we don’t want to break it). Then transfer it into a bowl and smash it with a fork until it is totally destroyed.
2. Cut the biggest broccoli stalks and chop the broccoli into small pieces. Mix this with the tofu.
3. Chop the onion (small pieces) and transfer to the bowl. 
4. Now we are going to add the spices and salt, stir well until the “dough” is uniform. Then add the breadcrumbs and stir again.
5. Shape the burgers pressing well to get them compact. Now you can fry or bake them.

As you can se on the picture, I took this burger with bread, arugula (rocket salad) and avocado, but you can add tomato, onion or the ingredients you love the most.
