Spent Grain Tempeh Burgers

If you or a friend like to brew beer at home, here is one option for using some of those spent grains. These are very similar to my tempeh burgers, but have the added nutritional bonus of spent grains.

Ingredients:
  • 1 red onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup spent grain
  • 1 package tenpeh
  • 2-3 TB Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 TB ketchup
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1TB Olive Oil
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • pinch of thyme
  • 1/4-1/3 cup whole wheat flour
In a food processor, chop the onion, garlic, spent grain, and tempeh. If you have a smaller processor, divide this into a couple or a few smaller batches. Make sure the tempeh is ground really well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, one-by-one, mixing along the way. Add more flour if it doesn’t look like the patties will hold together.
Place on lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 375 for 20 minutes or so. Flip after 10 minutes. They should be brown and hold together when done. Enjoy.
