Answer 2

Try finely shredding zucchini, red onion, red bell pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if you aren't vegan). Then mix in some bread crumbs, whisked egg (or egg substitute) and seasoning of your choice. The mixture should be stiff, about the same consistency as meat leaf. Then pan fry with a little olive oil, broil in the oven, or barbecue on foil (to keep it from falling through the grate). Enjoy!

STIR FRY! you may mixture in greater beneficial business enterprise tofu (cubed) into surprisingly lots any stir fry. now and returned, i will fry the tofu in vegetable oil first, which provides it an particularly intense-high quality crispy crust and a mushy interior.

Sorry, I don't, but both Boca and Morningstar Farms make some pretty good veggie burgers. I don't like tofu, but you can't even taste it in the Morningstar Farms products. Their Chicken patties are really good too - You can't tell it's not real chicken.

I use porridge oats - boil up milk then pour it over the oats and leave them for 10 mins to soak up the milk, use an egg to bind it, then add other veg like grated onion, carrot, plus herbs and spices... then spoon into a hot pan and fry them one by one...
