11 ounces firm tofu (super firm)
1 red onion, chopped fine
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped fine
1 ½ cups Italian style breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
⅓ cup olive oil
salt and pepper
6 crusty rolls

1
In a large frying pan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the onions until soft.
2
Add chopped mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
3
Set aside.
4
In a food processor, blend 8 oz tofu with garlic and basil.
5
Blend until smooth.
6
Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and add sauted onion/mushroom mixture, 1 and 1/2 cups bread crumbs, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes.
7
Grate the remaining tofu-add to the mixing bowl.
8
Stir well to combine.
9
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
10
Divide mixture into 6 patties-press together well.
11
Coat each patty well with the remaining 1 cup bread crumbs.
12
Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet you used to saute the onion/mushroom mixture.
13
Over medium heat to medium high heat fry patties 4-5 minutes on each side.
14
Be gentle when you flip them-tofu burgers tend to fall apart.

Drain on paper towels, salt and pepper to taste.

These are quite nice on crusty rolls with a garlic mayo, spinach, red onion rings and slivered sun dried tomatoes(winter) or garden fresh slices of tomato.
