Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 medium potatoes (16 ounces or 450 grams)
  • 1/2 cup peas (70 grams)
  • 1 red onion
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch (95 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 chili pepper or a pinch of cayenne powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 package of firm tofu (10 ounces/275 grams drained or 14 ounces/400 grams undrained)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instruction

  • Cook the potatoes. You can steam them or cook them in plenty of boiling water for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain them and set aside.
  • Boil the peas for about 8 minutes (we've used frozen peas). Drain them and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the sesame seeds and the chili pepper (sliced) for 1 or 2 minutes. Add the red onion (chopped) and cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas and cook until veggies golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • When all the ingredients are cool, place the potatoes in a big bowl and mash them, add the ginger, coriander, cumin, cornstarch, lemon juice, onion and peas. Mix all the ingredients using your hands or a spoon. Form burger patties with your hands. We recommend don't make them too thick, just about the thickness of your thumb. Coat burgers in cornstarch (this step is optional).
  • Grease the frying pan with a little bit oil and cook the patties over medium heat. Cook each side for about 5 min, or until they are nicely browned.
  • To make the sauce you only have to place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Serve on bread with lettuce, tomato and one or two tablespoons of sauce.
