Ingredients

• 200 grams tempeh
• 150 grams baby bella mushrooms (finely chopped)
• 1 medium onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons water
• 60 grams oat flour
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 0 desired toppings (e.g. lettuce, tomato, avocado, vegan mayo)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.

Step 2

Crumble the tempeh into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until most of the moisture has evaporated.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled tempeh, prepared flax egg, oat flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 7

Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If needed, brush with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 9

Toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers with your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan mayo.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
