How to Prepare Greek Burger [Vegan]
To Make the Tofu Feta:
- Press the firm tofu to remove excess water. If you don't have a tofu press, wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel, put it on a plate, cover the top with another plate, and pile heavy books (or any heavy object) on top.Let sit for about 20 minutes.
- Cut the tofu into cubes. For the marinade, mix all other ingredients in container, add the cubed tofu, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and ideally 3-5 days. Tofu will take more texturized form and resemble feta cheese more.The longer it sits, the better it will taste.
To Make the Burgers:
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add quinoa to water and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain quinoa well. Set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to oil and cook until tender and browned around edges, stirring frequently.
- Stir garlic, oregano, and salt into onion. Cook until fragrant, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds.
- Remove skillet from heat. Set aside.
- Place oats in a food processor and pulse into flour. Place beans in a large bowl and mash until smooth. Add quinoa, sautéed onions, dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, flax egg, oat flour, green onions, chopped olives, parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well, then divide into 4 patties. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add patties to oil and cook until browned on both sides.
- While the burgers are cooking, make the sauce.
To Make the Sauce:
- Mix together cucumber, vegan yogurt/sour cream, crumbled vegan feta, minced garlic, and dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To Assemble:
- Top burgers with arugula, red onion, cucumber, and sauce.
