Tempeh Barley Burgers
These patties are similar to my original Grilled Tempeh Burgers, but the added barley makes them a little more hearty and healthy.
Enjoy them like regular burgers- with cheese, ketchup, mustard, etc.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried barley flakes
- 1 red onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 package tempeh
- 2 TB German mustard
- 2 TB Worcestershire sauce
- 1 TB tomato paste
- 2 TB spicy BBQ sauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- pinch of thyme
Barley flakes cook like oatmeal, but take 20 minutes. Add one cup of barley flakes to 3 cups boiling water. Turn down to simmer and cook until all water is absorbed. Let this mixture cool a little.
In a food processor, chop the onion, garlic, and tempeh. In a large bowl, mix the cooked barley flakes with the chopped onion, garlic, and tempeh. Add the rest of the ingredients, one by one in the order listed above, and mix well. Add a little more flour if the patties look like they will fall apart on the griddle.
Cook these like pancakes until they are browned on the outside. Enjoy.
