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.
Salad with Spicy Tempeh

Rather than add grilled chicken to a salad, I prefer grilled tempeh. It is much easier, tastes great, and there is no post-chicken kitchen clean-up. This salad has my Spicy Grilled Tempeh on top.
The salad is simple- mixed organic greens, a seeded tomato, grilled red pepper, and shaved carrot. That’s all I had in the house at the time. I gilled the red pepper right after grilling the tempeh, but this, of course, is optional. I dressed the lettuce, tomato, and pepper in rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil to give a simple flavor to the salad. Then I shaved a carrot on top, and finally added the tempeh. Add cucumber for a cool, refreshing bite in between a mouth-full of hot, spicy tempeh.

This is my favorite grilled tempeh because there is so much flavor. Who needs grilled chicken when this dish is so satisfying and simple?
Ingredients
- One package of Tempeh
- Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis)
- Ground Chili with Fried Garlic Sauce (if you can’t find this in your local Asian food store, substitute with Chinese Chili Sauce and add some fried garlic if you want a garlic flavor)
Mix the Sweet Soy Sauce (which is actually a molasses-like syrup made from palm and super popular in Indonesia) with the Chili Garlic Sauce. The sweet needs to balance out the spicy in this marinade. Cut tempeh into strips, and coat with sauce. Allow to marinate a little while. Throw on the grill.
I like to serve this with a salad.
