- 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons flour

Preparation
Gently boil the tempeh for 5 minutes to reduce bitterness
Rinse the tempeh under cold water
Use hands to crumble the tempeh into mince-like pieces
Sauté the onion in a little olive oil or vegetable broth
Add the sautéed onion to the tempeh crumbles
Crumble the bread into small chunks and add to the tempeh mixture
Add the spices, nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, and optional olive oil
Use hands to incorporate the spices into the tempeh crumbles
Add the flour to the mixture
Add salt to taste
Form the mixture into about 5 to 6 burgers, each about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
Cook the burgers by baking on a lined baking sheet at 375°F until golden brown, flipping halfway, for about 20 minutes, or by frying in a little oil in a non-stick pan
