"What happened" - you ask. How did a French / Mediterranean food addict such as myself got to a point he's posting a vegan recipe?

Veggie tofu burger - 6 portions

Ingredients

Burgers:

600gm Organic tofu
1 shallot - finely chopped
1 medium onion - finely chopped
4 tbsp of quick oat
1 tbsp ketchup
3 tsp sesame seeds (Japaneses black seeds works best)
2 tbsp of organic bread crumbs
salt, pepper
2-3 tbsp sesame oil
2-3 tbsp soy sauce (kikoman rules)
2 small potatoes shredded

Serving

6 burger buns
tomatoes, onion, pickles, mustard, lettuce

Preparation

• Put all the burger ingredients into a mixing ball
• With hands - crush everything into a homogenized and not too fine mixture. Cooking with your hands (i.e. not using forks and spoons) makes better tasting food - guaranteed. Make sure there are no big tofu pieces left or the patties will break-off.
  
• Form patties (don't make them too fat - think McDonald's) - set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  
• Heat up a pan with vegetable oil
• Fry the patties from both sides (about 7-10 minutes. cooking is art, do what feels right!)
  

Serving

• On each plate, cut open the bun
• spread some mustard, cover with lettuce, fried patty, onion, tomatoes and pickles to taste. cover with ketchup.
