September 30th - I'd been quite impressed with how easily Jamie Oliver made his tofu burger on the TV ..... And I was feeling like something healthy for tea..... So I headed off to the Co-op hopefully to find some tofu. Amazingly they did have some, but the packet was so big I thought that we'd be eating tofu for a month so I headed back home and decided to try and make something up. I found a recipe for Spicy Bean Burgers in a scrap book of recipes that I'd cut out of magazines years ago. A finely chopped onion was fried with garlic, cumin seeds and chilli. Meanwhile I bashed up a can of chickpeas (artistic licence) with the end of a rolling pin....felt very African! The mash and onion mix were combined with some breadcrumbs, chilli flakes and an egg yolk. I also added in a spoonful of tahini since I guessed these were going to taste a bit hummus like! I fried them and served with a salad and spicy yogurt. Not bad, if I don't say so myself!
