Categories: Vegan
Yield: 8 servings

14 oz Tofu, firm; drained
-rinsed
1 sm Onion -- minced
2 lg Garlic cloves -- minced
1 tb Canola oil
2 tb Chili sauce
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
-vegetarian
2 ts Soy sauce -- low-sodium
1/2 ts Cumin -- ground

3/4 c Bread crumbs -- dry AND

Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel or several layers of
paper towels. Place on a cutting board, and weight
with an iron skillet or wooden cutting board for 30 to
45 minutes. Meanwhile, saute onion and garlic in oil
until onion is limp and slightly brown on the edges.
Remove towels and place tofu in a large bowl. Mash
with a fork and add onion-garlic mixture. Add chili
sauce, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, cumin, bread
crumbs and hazelnuts if desired; mix well. Place in a
food processor and pulse to form a uniform texture.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 30
minutes. With wet hands, shape tofu mixture into 8 to
10 patties and place on a well oiled vegetable grill.
Handle patties gently; they're delicate. Grill for 3
to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Variation:
Instead of grilling, saute burgers in olive oil until
lightly browned on both sides. Note: This burger is
especially tasty when served with a spicy sauce made
of low-sodium soy sauce mixed with chili sauce or
barbecue sauce and topped with sauteed mushrooms. Per
