As we always say, veggie burgers are an ideal dish for experimenting, since they allow endless combinations of ingredients that result in true culinary delights.

These burgers stand out for their tender texture and creamy flavour, with sweeter, brighter flashes from the pepper and the tasty potpourri of spices, which also gives them an irresistible spicy kick.

Among their ingredients, the aroma of black pepper and the seasoning blend really stands out. The seasoning is a spice mix based on turmeric, sweet paprika and dried onion, with black pepper, fennel, garlic powder, coriander seeds, ginger, nutmeg, mustard seeds, celery and aromatic herbs. This turns every bite into a truly delicious dance of flavours.

As well as being rich in protein, this dish is rich in beta-carotene, lycopene, fibre, lecithin, flavonoids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, allicin, alliin, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins C, E, K and B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulphur, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, iodine and, in smaller amounts, copper and zinc.

Notes

If you do not have yellow pepper, you can make hamburgers with red pepper.

In case you do not have rice flour, you can also use whole wheat flour.

If you want to freeze the burgers, you can do it before cooking them, keeping them in the freezer individually wrapped so that they do not deform or stick together.

Tap on the steps to mark them as done

Step 1
Grate the onion and garlic and, separately, grate the tofu. Set aside.
Step 2
Wash the bell pepper and chop it very finely. Wash the zucchini too and grate it. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large pan, heat the oil and, when it is warm, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.

Step 4
Add the zucchini and bell pepper, stir and cook everything for 7 minutes, until the pepper is tender.
Step 5
Add the grated tofu with the spices and the salt and stir again so all the ingredients mix well. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 6
When the mixture is lukewarm, add the breadcrumbs and the flour and stir until all the ingredients are well combined. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel and put it in the fridge for 1 hour so it firms up and is easier to work with.
Step 7
After this time, take the bowl out of the fridge, take portions of the mixture and shape them into burgers.
Step 8
In a nonstick pan, heat a little oil and, when it is hot, cook the burgers in batches, about 3 minutes on each side. When they are golden on both sides, turn off the heat, plate and serve.
