Notes:
This is a really good tofu dish that I created. Just keep in mind, these fritters seem small but they are very filling! I was content after 1 or 2.
A package of tofu contains much more than what you will need to this unless you have a really big family. I suggest only using half of the block of tofu and saving the rest for something else.
Servings: 5
Ingredients:
1/2 package firm tofu
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Olive oil
1 clover of fresh garlic
1/4 - 1/2 cup of flour (whole wheat preferably but use whatever you have)
Directions:
Drain the water out of the tofu box and lay the tofu on some paper towels. Gently squeeze and drain all the water you can out of the tofu itself. This makes the tofu much easier to cook and deal with. You probably wont be able to get all the water out of it because it takes a lot of paper towels but just do your best. Mash the tofu with a spoon or utensil. Mix the mashed tofu with 1/4 - 1/2 a cup of flour in a mixing bowl. This serves to clump the tofu. Mix until everything clumps together and add whatever fresh seasoning you would like. I added some basil to mine but you can use any seasoning in the world that you like. Heat up a skillet to medium heat and put a generous amount of olive oil in the pan. Add some salt and diced garlic in the pan and let it simmer into the olive oil for a few seconds. Take a ball of tofu in your хэнд and squish it to a thin patty (the thinner you make it, the faster and more thorough it will cook). Put some patties onto the skillet and let "fry" on each side until it is golden brown on all sides (It takes about 5 - 8 minutes on each side). These can burn easily so monitor them closely. Once they are done, put each patty on some paper towels and lay another paper towel on top of them and press them to get the excess oil out. Then slap on a bun or some bread and add your favorite condiments.
Grab some of the washed mushrooms and throw them into your skillet and sautee them for a few seconds. (Remember that the longer you cook vegetables, the less nutrients they contain)
Throw some of the mushrooms on each burger and enjoy!!!!!
