Sunday Night Specail

Marinated Tofu Burgers

Green Grocer juice of 2 limes 1 Lettuce shredded 2 Tomatoes sliced 3 Onions sliced Dry Store 500g block of firm tofu (not silken tofu and preferrably organic) 150ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 teaspoons of whole cummin seed (I proudly pronounce it as it's spelt) 50ml Dark Soy Sauce (may need a little more if you only have a light soy) Sweet Chilli or Tomato Sauce 4 Bread rolls
  • Toast the cummin until well popped in a dry pan.
  • Turn off the heat and add a couple of teaspoons of water to stop the cooking
  • Add the olive oil, lime juice and soy sauce - The pan should be hot enough to heat the oil a little but not enough to make the lime juice spit.
  • Layer the tofu in a plastic container with a good lid, putting a bit of the marinade on each layer.
  • Pour the rest over the top. Seal and turn every hour or so. Best if marinated overnight.
Notes Cook quickly on a flame grill if possible. Otherwise a BBQ or a frying pan will de.
