2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small-medium onion, chopped
1-2 portobello mushrooms, chopped
2-5 garlic cloves, chopped (according to taste)

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

5. Drop tofu mixture onto greased or non-stick baking sheet in 6 portions. Flatten with spatula to form patties.
