Grilled Lemon-Basil Tofu Burgers
Ingredients:
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, pressed & sliced into 4 slices
Lemon Marinade
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon rind
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper
Olive Relish
1/3 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olives
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp vegan sour cream
3 Tbsp veganaise
Directions :
In a small bowl, combine lemon marinade ingredients. Cut tofu crosswise into 4 or 5 slices. Place tofu slices on a sheet pan and brush both sides of tofu slices with lemon juice mixture; reserve remaining juice mixture. Let tofu rest 1 hour or more.
Preheat grill to a medium high heat. Place tofu slices on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill for about 4 minutes on each side. Brush tofu with the reserved juice mixture.
Olive relish is a great compliment to these tofu burgers. I also enjoy lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices.
