INGREDIENTS

• 3 or 4 Smartbite Brown Rice + Quinoa Thins 
• 100 g silken tofu, well drained (see note)
• 30 g almond flour
• 30 g vegan cheddar
• 30 g curry sauce
• 20 g vegan cream cheese
• salt + black pepper to taste 

OPTIONAL: Additional add-ons can include dill, scallions, parsley, cilantro and whatever herbs and spices you prefer. Bell peppers would be a great addition, too. 

 

 

PROCEDURE

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 

2. In a food processor, pulse quinoa rice thins until you have a fine flour like consistency. 

3. Put the block of well-drained tofu in a mixing bowl and mash it with a fork until you have tiny tofu pieces. The mixture will still look a little wet but everything will come together just fine. Just make sure you drained for at least a few hours.

4. To the tofu add the ingredients from quinoa rice flour to vegan cream cheese. Use the fork to toss the ingredients together. Again, it will look a little wet and this is fine. If you think it looks too wet sprinkle a bit more quinoa rice flour. 

5. Using your hands, form two patties. Place them on a parchment paper covered tray and bake for 10 minutes on each side. 

6. Serve on top of a spring salad with vegan tzatziki sauce (recipe here).

 

RECIPE NOTES 

Silken tofu is much softer and wetter than firm tofu. For this, it’s very important to drain it well. I let mine sit on a colander in the fridge overnight but at least a few hours will do. The tofu will still seem too wet to use but it will come together. I like it because it’s easy to mash. Firm or extra-firm tofu should also work–it should also be drained well. If it doesn’t mash easily with a fork you can crumble in small pieces with your hands or pulse through a food processor. 

If you use firm tofu you can crumble the drained block in small pieces.
