Ingredients

• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 courgette, shredded
• 1 (10 ounce) package silken tofu
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 celery, finely chopped
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
• 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Press carrot and courgette between paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a medium bowl combine carrots, courgette, tofu, onion, celery, egg, bread crumbs and curry paste.
2. Chop 2/3 of the basil and add it to the tofu mixture. Mix well and form into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve with remaining basil leaves.
