Grilled Tempeh Burgers
These were an experiment that turned out well, grilled nicely, and can substitute (in my opinion) for carnivore burgers. Make sure the rack is brushed with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Ingredients:
- 1 package Tempeh
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 red Onion
- 1 TB Tomato Paste
- 2 TB German Mustard
- 1/8 cup Worcestershire
- 3 TB spicy BBQ sauce
- 1 beaten Egg
- 1 TB Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup grated Cheddar Cheese (I used white cheddar)
In a food processor, finely chop the onion, garlic, and tempeh. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and start adding the rest of the ingredients, one by one, and mixing along the way. When it is evenly mixed, make small patties and put them on an oiled grill-safe tray. Grill them on this tray to prevent them from slipping through the larger spaces on a standard grill rack. A few minutes on each side and they are done.
I served these with grilled carrots and a wilted spinach, tomato, and radish salad with a curry vinaigrette, and added some sliced cheese to the burgers.
