INSTRUCTIONS
Meatloaf style tofu pattie seasoned with mint and scallions.
1. In a large covered saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over
medium heat. Add the bulgur and carrots, remove from the heat, cover and
let stand until the bulger has softened and absorbed the liquid, about 15
minutes. Drain well.
2. In a large bowl, mash the tofu. Stir in the bulgur mixture, egg white,
mint, scallions and cayenne, stirring well. Stir in the bread crumbs, 1/4
cup of the flour, the ketchup and mustard.
3. Preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Form the bulgur mixture into patties,
one per serving: 1-inch thick and 4-inches in diameter. Dredge the patties
in remaining flour.
4. In a large nonstick skillet, warm the oil over medium heat until hot but
not smoking. Add the patties to the skillet and saute until crusty, after 4
minutes per side. Transfer to a nonstick baking sheet and bake for about 5
minutes, or until heated through.
5. Serve the burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and alfalfa sprouts.
