Tofu Veggie Burger and Green Hot Sauce

This Tofu and Veggie Burger is a  lighter version of the popular burger but not light on flavour. Omit the cheese if you want to reduce the fat content further.

METHOD

• Wrap the tofu in a cloth and squeeze out the liquid.
• Mix the tofu with the breadcrumbs, egg, paprika and season with salt. Form into 4 round burger patties of 130g each.
• Blister the peppers, spring onions and jalapeños under a grill.
• Blitz the peppers, spring onions and jalapeños along with the vinegar, garlic, water and maple syrup and season with salt.
• Fry the tofu patties in a little oil for about 4 minutes each side or roast in the oven until the core temperature is reached.
• Place some sliced smoked cheddar on the patties and melt under the grill as you toast or char-grill the buns.
• Place the tofu patty in the bun along with the hot sauce.
