Tempeh and JAZZ™ Apple Burgers

• Servings

  Makes: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1 block tempeh (about 200g)
• 1 cup rinsed and drained black beans
• 3/4 cup oats
• 1 carrot roughly chopped
• 1/2 JAZZ™ apple finely grated
• 1 small red onion chopped
• 2 tbsp tamari sauce
• A generous sprinkle of black pepper
• Optional: 1-2 tbsp of hot sauce
• To Serve
• Burger buns
• Sliced avocado
• Sliced tomato
• Lettuce or rocket
• Sauerkraut or pickle
• Vegan mayo

METHOD

• Slice the tempeh into pieces and place it into a pan covered with boiling water. Cook the tempeh on a medium heat for 10 minutes
• Drain the tempeh chunks and place them in the food processor with all the other ingredients for the patties. Blitz everything for a few seconds until you have a chunky paste
• Don’t over process it as you don’t want to end up with a puree
• Shape the mixture into patties and place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper
• Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes
• Remove them from the oven and let them cool down for few minutes. You can either eat them as they are or if you want to add a lovely smoky flavour, just brush them with some oil and place them on the barbecue for few minutes each side
• To assemble the burger spread a layer of mayo on the bottom half, add the greens, the burger, tomato, avocado and sauerkraut or pickle
