Tempeh-Mushroom Burgers

Tempeh-Mushroom Burgers

Serves 8

The secret ingredient in these patties from VT executive chef Ann Gentry is grated beet, which keeps them juicy and makes them look like “real” burgers.
  • 4 Tbs. light miso paste
  • 2 8-oz. pkgs. tempeh, grated
  • 3 Tbs. canola oil, divided
  • ½ cup gluten flour or vital wheat gluten
  • 2 Tbs. guar gum
  • 1 portobello mushroom, stemmed and grated (about ¾ cup)
  • 1 small beet, grated (about ¾ cup)
  • 1 small onion, grated (about ½ cup)
  • 1 small carrot, grated (about ½ cup)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • ½ medium green bell pepper, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)

  2. Dilute miso in 1/4 cup water in bowl. Stir in tempeh and 11/2 Tbs. oil. Stir in flour and guar gum.
  3. Mound tempeh mixture on prepared baking sheet. Cover with foil, and bake 20 minutes, or until heated through.
  4. Heat remaining 1 1/2  Tbs. oil in skillet over medium heat. Add mushroom, beet, onion, carrot, corn, bell peppers and garlic. Sauté 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  5. Pulse vegetables and tempeh mixture in food processor 6 or 7 times or until just blended (do not overblend).
  6. Shape tempeh mixture into 8 patties. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 4 hours, or overnight, to blend flavors.

These didn't stay together very well so they were more like sloppy joe's but I still really enjoyed them. I topped with onion, swiss cheese, and red pepper slices & dill spread.

My daughter really liked these. I found them okay. I would make them again. Guar gum can be found at a health found store or any place that you get supplies for gluten-free baking.

Technically Miso is fermented rice, barley and/or soybeans you can get that usually at either a whole food store or Asian specialized store. Tempeh is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold
