Veggie burger attempts
While not appropriate for Hanukah (when the oil is the whole point), for year-round enjoyment, my father uses an electric waffle iron to make greaseless latkes.
I realized the same technique could no doubt be used for any veggie burger mixture, really. But when I went to buy a waffle iron today they didn't have one, and I came home instead with a sandwichmaker.
The problem is that the middle of the sandwich space is too thick for the mixture to cook through properly. So I wound up with tofu-zucchini-latke mush.
I tried frying some of the mixture, but it wasn't quite holding together enough. (I'd used both some cooked whole grain rice and mashed potato flakes as binders, plus an egg.)
Oh well.
If I do find a waffle iron, I may buy it and try again. I think it'll work better to cook through...
