Gluten-Free Tofu & Spinach Burgers

Who said you can’t be healthy eating burgers? Ha, there are burgers and then there are burgers – and these are the good ones 🙂

They’re a huge hit in my Alkaline Base Camp membership, everyone LOVES them, and they’re really quick and easy to make, AND packed full of alkaline goodness, protein, fibre and healthy fats!

With this Gluten-Free Spinach Garlic Tofu Burgers can give you all the taste that you crave and the nutrients that you need.

Gluten-Free Tofu & Spinach Burgers

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

16 ounces frozen spinach (organic), thawed
15 ounces firm organic tofu
3/4 cup gluten free oats
1 medium onion, chopped
3-4 big cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup LSA mix (a mix of ground almonds, flax and sunflower seeds – if you can’t get this mixed, just pick the one you prefer)
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup coconut oil
Optional: dash of Bragg Liquid Amino

Instructions
1. Crumble tofu, and mix all ingredients together in bowl. Allow to sit a few minutes so oats can absorb some of the liquid from the spinach.

2. Add a little water if your mixture isn’t wet enough to hold together. Add the Bragg if desired.

3. Make patties with your hands and fry with a little coconut oil. Cook for 6-10 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Serve with a nice big salad!

    Hi Ross,

    cooking the food kills all the enzymes cf http://rawfoods.com/faq.html thus is bad for health.

    Please publish more raw food recipes as they are far better for health and faster to prepare.

    Miam miam.

    I’d like to try this recipe, but what is nutritional yeast? Is it the same as the yeast one includes when making bread? I always understood that Dr Young was not a great advocate of yeast. Also, yeast is mentioned twice in the recipe, it says to include 1/8 cup, and 1/4 cup, is this correct?

    Hi Ross,

    Another great recipe, but I am wondering: Is it ok to leave out the yeast? I suffer from rosacea and cannot have to much yeast in my diet.

    I made it without and they still taste great! I see it is for nutrition, can I replace the yeast with something else?

    Thanks

    Miranda

    The Gluten-Free Spinach Garlic Tofu Burger recipe calls for 2 different amounts of nutritional yeast. Are they both to be mixed in with all the ingredients? The recipe sounds delicious.

    I thought that even nutritional yeast was something we wanted to stay away from. Can you explain why it is in this recipe? Is there something that can be exchanged for it that you know of? There are many vegan receipes that contain nut. yeast and if there is an alternate, I’d like to know about it. Also what is LSA mix?

    Thanks………..Kellie

      Hi Kellie,
      LSA is Linseed, sunflower and almonds ground up so you can sprinkle it on everything! Is yummy too
