INSTRUCTIONS
- 1.To prepare the tempeh: Cut the tempeh into smaller pieces (you can crush it with your hands or coarsely chop it for texture) and place in a blender or food processor. If you don't have a blender, you can finely grate the tempeh on a coarse grater.
- 2.Frying the onions and garlic: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and garlic until they soften and turn golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
- 3.Mixing the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the crushed tempeh, fried onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, pepper, salt, and fresh herbs. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to combine well.
- 4.Forming burgers: Form 4-6 burger patties from the prepared mixture (depending on the desired size).
- 5.Fry the burgers: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
- 6.Assembling the burgers: Place the burgers in toasted burger buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and dressings to taste.
