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
You can store the patties in the fridge for a week or so and they are also suitable for freezing.
