Healthy Eating for Life to Prevent and Treat Diabetes


Recipe Introduction


Makes 12 3-inch patties
Recipe from Healthy Eating for Life to Prevent and Treat
Diabetes by Patricia Bertron, R.D.


List of Ingredients




1/3 cup bulgur wheat
2/3 cup boiling water
2 cups whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1/2 pound firm tofu
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce or ketchup
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon stone ground or Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

Recipe



Combine bulgur with boiling water in a small bowl. Cover and let stand until bulgur is soft and all the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
While bulgur softens, mix bread crumbs, walnuts, onion, celery, and carrot in a large bowl.
Puree tofu in a food processor, or mash by hand until very
smooth.
Add to vegetable mixture along with barbecue sauce, soy sauce, mustard, black pepper, and liquid smoke, if using. Add softened bulgur, then stir or knead until mixture binds together, about 1 minute.
Preheat oven to 350oF. Form into patties, using about 1/3 cup of the mixture for each patty. Arrange on an oil-sprayed or nonstick baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. Flip and bake 15 minutes on second side.
Variation: To prepare on the stovetop, cook in an oil-sprayed nonstick skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve these patties with mashed potatoes or on whole wheat buns with all the trimmings for a delicious and satisfying burger. For best results, all of the vegetables should be finely chopped. This is easily done with a food processor. The patties may be baked or cooked on the stovetop. Directions are given for both. Extra patties may be frozen, before or after cooking, for later use.
