by Ross Bridgeford on June 8, 2011

Who said you can’t be healthy eating burgers? With this Gluten-Free Spinach Garlic Tofu Burgers can give you all the taste that you crave and the nutrients that you need.

Gluten-Free Spinach Garlic Tofu Burgers

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

16 ounces frozen spinach (organic), thawed
15 ounces firm tofu
3/4 cup gluten free rolled oats
1 medium onion, chopped
3-4 big cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup LSA mix
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup coconut oil
Optional: dash of Bragg Liquid Amino

Instructions
1. Crumble tofu, and mix all ingredients together in bowl. Allow to sit a few minutes so oats can absorb some of the liquid from the spinach.

2. Add a little water if your mixture isn’t wet enough to hold together. Add the Bragg if desired.

3. Make patties with your hands and fry with a little coconut oil. Cook for 6-10 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Serve with a nice big salad!

I’d like to try this recipe, but what is nutritional yeast? Is it the same as the yeast one includes when making bread? I always understood that Dr Young was not a great advocate of yeast. Also, yeast is mentioned twice in the recipe, it says to include 1/8 cup, and 1/4 cup, is this correct?

But I must say thank to you as one of the people who advised me to such a thing that I need to inlcude more alkaline foods in my mealS AND Mst say that I have read i you articles on boilling water to make it alkaline and I use most ater my meals avocado which really helps me, the only thing that I would like to ask you is why do I get short breath wenever I eat something fried or cooking oils is mixed with?

Hi Ross,

Another great recipe, but I am wondering: Is it ok to leave out the yeast? I suffer from rosacea and cannot have to much yeast in my diet.

I made it without and they still taste great! I see it is for nutrition, can I replace the yeast with something else?

Thanks

Miranda

The Gluten-Free Spinach Garlic Tofu Burger recipe calls for 2 different amounts of nutritional yeast. Are they both to be mixed in with all the ingredients? The recipe sounds delicious.

I thought that even nutritional yeast was something we wanted to stay away from. Can you explain why it is in this recipe? Is there something that can be exchanged for it that you know of? There are many vegan receipes that contain nut. yeast and if there is an alternate, I’d like to know about it. Also what is LSA mix?

Thanks………..Kellie

Hi Kellie,
LSA is Linseed, sunflower and almonds ground up so you can sprinkle it on everything! Is yummy too
