1 lb Soft tofu
1 1/2 lb Shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 c Green onion, chopped
1/4 c Fresh sage; chopped
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 c Couscous mixed with
1/2 c Boiling water
1 ts Minced garlic
1/4 c Olive oil
In a medium bowl, mash the tofu. Add mushrooms, green onion, sage,
cayenne and salt. Add soaked couscous and garlic; mix until mixture
forms a ball as if you were making a dough. Divide into 12 portions
and press into a patty. Heat oil in a large skillet and cook patties
as space permits until brown on both sides. If desired, serve with
mushroom glaze.
Serve with cranberry sauce, wild rice pilaf and sweet potatoes, or
with holiday dishes of choice.
