Tempeh Burgers or Balls!

Although not a common item in most households in North America, tempeh, with its distinctively nutty taste and nougat-like texture, is increasing in popularity. It is a highly nutritious fermented food made from soybeans and its high protein content makes it a wonderful substitute for meat. This is a great way to incorporate tempeh into your diet. Serve with tomato sauce and whole grain pasta or enjoy them with a salad and hummus!

1 package of tempeh

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

1 Tbsp almond butter

1 Tbsp flaxseeds, ground, + 1/4 cup of water (mixed thoroughly as egg replacement)

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1 Tbsp dried basil

1 Tbsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 Tbsp arrowroot flour
1 Tbsp water (or as needed to make batter stick)

• Process tempeh in a food processor or chop finely to resemble a ground meat like thing

• Mix in with all other ingredients

• Roll in to balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. To make burgers press down on them to make them flat.

• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until browned on top

• Allow to cool

• To reheat – heat on your stove top with ½ tsp of coconut oil

These can be frozen for a quick meal on a busy day!
