Meatless Burgers

Patties - Soy - -

INGREDIENTS

1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
1 cup grated beets
2 T almond butter (I substituted peanut butter and it was fine)
2 T shoyu/tamari/Braggs
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water (I omitted... my mixture would have been way too gushy)
1 lb / 450 g tofu, frozen, thawed, and squeezed dry
1/2 cup pure gluten flour

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

2. Chop onion and garlic in a food processor. Add the beets, almond/peanut butter, shoyu, vinegar, and water (if using) and process a few pulses until mixed. Tear the tofu into small pieces, add to the misture, and process again until uniformly chopped.

3. Transfer mixture to a bowl, mix in the gluten flour, and form into burgers. If too gushy, add more flour little by little.

4. Arrange the burgers on an oiled cookie sheet, and bake for 15 minutes on each side until browned.

NOTES

This is crazy-good, and it looks and feels like a real burger. Mmmmm tasty.
