Ingredients
- 2 tsp of olive oil
- 1 great onion grated
- ¼ lb of firm tofu… yeah, they don’t sell it that way so about a third of the standard cube-blob..grated
- ½ of a zucchini grated
- 2 garlic cloves…minced up
- ¼ of tomato sauce or an 8 oz can of such
- ½ tsp of salt
- ¼ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup of plain breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp of those same breadcrumbs because I couldn’t do the math to combine it with the above amount
- 2 Tbsp of sunflower seeds… no shells.
- 4 buns of whole-wheat or sprouted wheat or something healthy
Instructions
- Heat your oven up to 400° F.
- Grease up a cookie sheet with some non-stick spray.
- In a big skillet, heat up the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add the grated tofu, the grated zucchini, and minced garlic. Cook until soft…about 5 minutes.
- Slop in the tomato sauce and add the salt and pepper. Let it get thick. About 4 minutes.
- Stir in ALL the breadcrumbs and sunflower seeds.
- Take off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Make 4 patties… you know how to do that right? Put them on the cookie sheet and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
- Serve on the buns (I add a piece of gouda/basil cheese.).
- Eat it.

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his wellbeing). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos. He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
