Baked Tofu and Mini Pizzas

A very good morning to you all......it is now mid-week and only a couple days left until the weekend.

The weather is turning colder now and it is a great time to start thinking about making soups.......I will post some delicious recipes and pictures soon so watch out.

For now, I just wanted to share with you a couple of wonderful recipes my mum has been making and preparing for me, especially last night, when I got home late from work and she prepared a beautiful array of lovely dishes.


Baked Tofu Burgers


1 pack of firm tofu (250g) mashed with a fork
1/4 cup cooked white rice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 small ripened avocado - mashed with a fork
1/4 tsp turmeric
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and separate into 10 small balls and make into burger shapes as above.

Roll in brown or white bread crumbs.

On a flat oven tray, spray some olive oil and place burgers on top.  On top of the burgers you can spray additional olive oil.

Leave in the over on 200c for about 15 - 20 minutes.

This is a healthy version of this recipe.  You can however shallow fry the burgers in a frying pan if preferred.


Mini Pizza's


1 kilo plain white flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white suger
2 tsp yeast
1/4 cup of olive oil

Mix all the above in a bowl with approx 1 1/2 - 2 cups warm water.  Mix until the mixture does not stick to the side of the bowl.  Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Once ready, portion into about 8 - 12 balls (depending on sizes of pizza that you want) and flatten to shape.

On the top, you can use a mixture of what you like.

What my mum used is:

1.  Mix of coloured peppers (fresh and chopped), fresh tomato and some parsley with a squeeze of lemon for added flavour and zest.

2.  Sesame seeds with mixed herbs

Both taste great and you can play with different varieties........ENJOY
