Veggie Burgers:091:
15 1/2-oz canned garbanzo beans drained and mashed
1 tbs basil
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1 cup cooked long grain brown rice
14-oz firm tofu
5 tbs spicy Korean barbeque sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp sage
2 tsp vegetable oil
In a large bowl, stir together the mashed garbanzo beans and basil. Mix in the oat bran, quick oats, and rice. The mixture should seem a little dry. In a separate bowl, crush the tofu with your hands, trying to squeeze out as much of the water as possible. Drain off the water, and repeat the process until there is hardly any water worth pouring off. It is not necessary to remove all of the water. Pour the barbeque sauce over the tofu, and stir to coat. Stir the tofu into the garbanzo bean and oat mixture. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage. Mix until well blended. brush the grill with the oil. Form patties out of the bean mixture, and grill them for about 5 minutes per side. 8 servings
