Recipe:

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 medium jalapeño, seeded
1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment and brush lightly with oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the Sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the sweet potato mix, tofu, onion, cornstarch, garlic, veg stock, curry, chives, cilantro, vinegar, tomato paste, cumin, cayenne, and ginger in a food processor and process to a pasty consistency.
Transfer the mix back to the bowl and fold in the panko and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Form into patties, add to the baking sheet and brush the tops with oil.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. Both sides should be an even golden brown. Warm the buns. Use the chimichurri as a condiment and garnish with avocado, red onion, and pickles. Cilantro chimichurri It’s a great condiment but also works as a garnish for grilled meats or vegetables, marinades, or a simple sandwich spread. While it adds a vibrant color pop, Its tangy/garlicky flavor also adds to the flavors of the burger. I used my small food processor in this video but you can certainly chop the hebs by hand. See the previous reel for the meatless burger recipe.
Combine the oils, vinegar, garlic, jalapeño, and herbs pulse 30-45 seconds then add 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
