Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain the tofu and press out excess moisture. You can do this by placing the tofu block between paper towels and pressing it with a heavy object for at least 15 minutes.
- Once drained, crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.
- In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want small pieces, not walnut butter.
- Add the finely chopped walnuts to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
- Add 1 dash of salt and 1 dash of black pepper to the bowl.
- Pour in the 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the 4 fluid ounces of stout beer.
- Crack the egg into the mixture.
- Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but cohesive enough to form patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a small amount of breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
- Divide the mixture evenly and shape it into patties of your desired size. This recipe should make about 4-6 burgers depending on the size.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.
- Once hot, place the patties onto the skillet.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve the stout tofu walnut burgers on your favorite bun with your choice of toppings. Popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, avocado, and your favorite condiments like mustard, mayo, or ketchup.
Tips:
- Press the tofu before using it to remove excess moisture. This will help the burgers hold their shape better.
- Toast the walnuts slightly in a dry pan before chopping or blending them. This enhances their flavor and adds a wonderful depth to the burger.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors. You can use a food processor for a smoother consistency or a fork for a chunkier texture.
- Allow the mixture to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before shaping into patties. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to handle.
- Cook the patties on a medium-high heat either on a skillet or grill. Ensure they are cooked through and have a nice sear on the outside for added texture and flavor.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings and sauces. They pair well with a fresh salad, pickles, or a tangy aioli.
- Consider adding breadcrumbs or oats if the mixture feels too wet. This helps in binding the ingredients together.
By following these tips and carefully preparing the ingredients, you can create delicious and nourishing Stout Tofu Walnut Burgers that are sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy the unique blend of flavors and the satisfaction of a homemade vegetarian burger that stands out from the crowd.
