Ingredients

Tofu Burger

Tomato Jam

Directions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to heat through. When hot add the onions with a pinch of salt and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
2
Add the tofu, soy sauce, bouillon, garlic, allspice, coriander, and thyme then stir well to combine. Spread the mixture out in the pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.
3
Toss the tofu and spread out again, cooking undisturbed for another 3 minutes then remove from heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, preheat the oven to 425F and prepare a parchment lined baking tray.
4
Transfer the tofu to a large mixing bowl with the panko, flour, sugar, and vinegar. With clean hands, mix and knead the grounds until it’s fairly easy to mold together.
5
Scoop 1/2 cup of the mixture into lightly greased palms then press the shape *tightly* into a patty shape. Place each formed patty on to the baking tray.
6
Lightly brush or spray the burgers with a little oil then place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
7
Remove from the oven and lightly brush the tops of the burger with some barbecue sauce. Flip, and baste again before returning to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
8
Assemble the burger bun with your preferred condiments, greens, the burger patty, then top with the tomato jam if using, then enjoy.
