'Pulled' Tofu & Turnip Burgers

July 8, 2018

We're getting dorsum into a one handy turnip-tagged recipe with my online bookmarks, where it's been waiting patiently for something similar 5 years.

It's a recipe that takes inspiration from pulled pork, which I intend is most usually veganised using jackfruit. Here instead there's grated turnips as well as tofu, gently sauteed as well as and then simmered inward barbecue sauce. Our Vegan Mom Trina didn't specify what barbecue sauce, thence nosotros stirred together the Moosewood one we've been making since earlier nosotros had a blog.

We served our pulled tofu as well as turnips on soft white breadstuff rolls with a half-quantity of Viva Vegan's classic cabbage salad, as well as Michael added a squirt of sriracha. I similar that this salad's mayo-free as well as nonetheless decently crunchy. You in all likelihood noticed that nosotros had around Irish Gaelic patato gems also - it's the outset fourth dimension we've baked them inward many years as well as they were a fun side.

The recipe included a much larger quantity of tofu than turnip, as well as the vegetable that got this whole repast started ended upwardly completely lost inward the mix. But it was a tasty mix as well as nosotros happily replayed it several times every bit leftovers - at home, reheating the filling inward the frypan, as well as packed into sandwiches for work.

'Pulled' tofu & turnip
(slightly adapted from a recipe on Your Vegan Mom)

ii medium turnips
500g real describe solid tofu
2-3 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 loving cup barbecue sauce (we used 1 quantity of this recipe)
1 loving cup water

Grate the turnip as well as the tofu, forming them into divide piles.

Set a large frypan over medium-high rut as well as melt one-half of the margarine inward it. Add the grated turnips to the pan as well as allow them to laid upwardly for a duo minutes at a fourth dimension without turning them, to give them the best conduct chances of browning. (Mine didn't, they merely released a bunch of water).

Move the turnip to the side of the frypan as well as melt the remaining margarine inward the infinite you've made. Pile the tofu into the frypan, as well as then toss everything together. Again, allow the mixture a duo of minutes at a fourth dimension without stirring, to give everything a conduct chances to brownish (this started working a fleck for us).

Stir the barbecue sauce as well as H2O together, as well as then pour them into the frypan. Allow the mixture to simmer for most 5 minutes. Turn off the rut as well as serve when most of the wet has evaporated. We piled this onto soft buns with a squelch of sriracha as well as a handful of classic cabbage salad, as well as served Irish Gaelic patato gems on the side.
