That title is quite a mouthful, but this is a somewhat complex burger. It's not hard to make, and it finally converted my bean-burger-hating son over to the dark side. He's eating a double patty burger as I type this.
Ingredients:
1 pound organic, sprouted tofu, drained
1 can beans or equivalent in fresh cooked beans
1 cup oats, whole or processed into flour
1/2 pound mushrooms
1/2 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1/2 bell pepper
green chiles, 1 small can or equivalent fresh peppers
1 large tomato, diced
1 cup spinach (or more)
seasonings: cayenne or crushed red pepper, to taste, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, etc.
Chop the vegetables and saute in a teaspoon of olive oil or 1/2 cup water. When onions are translucent, let vegetable mixture cool, then add to tofu, beans, oats, and seasonings in the food processor and process until smooth or nearly so. Taste the batter to test the seasonings - there's nothing animal based to worry about eating raw.
Bake in 350 degree oven until firm, flipping at least once. Or, pan fry on the stove top with a mist of olive oil. We generally bake them since we do so many at once.
