Gently Curried Tofu Burgers

These mildly spiced vegan tofu burgers can be served on burger rolls with all of your favorite condiments. Or, serve them on their own as a side dish for grain, potato, or pasta dishes. Young children may enjoy eating these out of hand at room temperature.

Makes: about 1 dozen, 1 or 2 per serving

• 1/4 cup oatmeal
• One 16-ounce tub soft tofu, drained well and finely crumbled
• 1/4 cup wheat germ
• 2 teaspoons seasoning blend (such as Spike or Mrs. Dash)
• 1 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste
• 1 scallion, minced, or 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, optional
• Salt to taste
• Olive oil for sauté pan

Place the oatmeal in a medium-sized mixing bowl and cover with 1/2 cup boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients except the oil to the mixing bowl and stir together until completely combined.

Heat enough oil to coat a wide nonstick skillet or griddle. Ladle the tofu mixture onto the skillet in 1/4-cup portions and flatten. Cook the patties on both sides over medium heat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm or at room temperature.
