Amount Ingredient

2 tablespoons olive oil

6 shallots, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrots

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons hot chili powder

12 ounces tofu, mashed

1/2 cup ground almonds

1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon sun dried tomato paste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation Instructions:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add the shallots, carrots, and garlic, and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ground spices and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Spoon the mixture into a bowl. Add the tofu, almonds, cheese, tomato paste, coriander and seasoning and mix thoroughly. Cool slightly; then divide the mixture into eight portions and form each portion into a burger. Preheat the broiler to high. Brush each burger all over the remaining oil and place the burgers on a broiler rack in a broiler pan. Broil for about 4 minutes on each side, until the burgers are cooked and lightly browned. Serve hot with whole wheat rolls, homemade relish or chutney, and a mixed leaf salad. Makes 4 servings (two burgers each).
