This is a really simple and hearty burger made using slices of tempeh that have been pan-fried until golden and crispy. Buy the best quality tempeh you can find; Impulse Organic Tempeh is well stocked in most independent health food stores.
Simply slice the block of tempeh in half diagonally and then slice through the middle of each piece to make four triangular slices. These can then be gently fried in oil until golden and crispy. Stack the tempeh in a burger bun with any number of vegan-friendly condiments including mayonnaise, gherkins, ketchup, salad leaves, tomatoes and sauerkraut.
Pale Ales and American Amber Ales will be an ideal beer pairing for these chunky vegan tempeh burgers. The light toffee and caramel sweetness will harmonise with the crispy tofu and bread, while notes of citrus will add flavour to this dish.
Lightbulb Extra Pale Ale from Falmouth’s Verdant Brewing Co is described as being "as light in colour as a 100W lightbulb, but as juicy as an IPA". The light biscuit malt base and citrusy hops are a winning combination when paired with this vegan burger. Tempeh often has a salty, sea-like taste which is perfectly balanced by the fresh citrus notes.
