Tofu Patty Melt

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/2 package soft tofu
* 1 1/2 cup cooked rice
* 1/2 cup canned kidney beans
* 1 clove garlic
* 1/2 medium onion
* 2 tablespoon flour
* dash oregano
* dash ground pepper
* oil or non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
* 4 slices tomato
* 4 slices soy cheese

Directions:

Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and rinse the beans. Mix with tofu,
rice, flour, oregano, and pepper. Form into four patties. (Add more
flour if they do not keep their shape.) Cook in oil or margarine in
skillet until browned, about five minutes on each side. Top with tomato
and cheese, and cover the skillet so cheese melts.

You can eat as they are, or burger-style on a bun. I also freeze the
patties so I can have them on hand to make quicker.

You could also experiment with adding leftover vegetables to the
mixture.
