Title: Rice and Tofu Burgers
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

2 ts Vegetable oil
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1 sm Onion; chopped
2 ts Chili powder
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Short-grain rice
1 1/4 c Vegetable stock or water
6 oz Extra-firm tofu; drained
1 Carrot
1/4 c Quick-cooking rolled oats

These grill up crusty and golden! From Canadian Living
Magazine, May 1997.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, onion, chili powder
and salt, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Stir in rice; pour in stock. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer
for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Transfer to
bowl; let cool completely.

Meanwhile, coarsely grate tofu and carrot. With potato masher or fork, mash
rice mixture slightly; stir in tofu, carrot and rolled oats until blended.

Shape into four 1/2 inch thick patties. (You may prepare recipe to this
point, then wrap the patties in plastic and refrigerate for up to 24
hours).

Place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat, or on greased baking
sheet; close lid and cook, turning once, for 10 - 12 minutes on grill, 14
minutes under broiler, or until crispy on the outside. Makes 4 servings.
