That may help keep them intact. Also the size of the mushroom dice is important to keeping them together. A large chunk of mushroom within the burger would certainly be a detriment to the structure of the patty (ha, that's a funny sentence.)<br /><br />Tempeh is an acquired taste. It is so healthy for you though. It has one of the best protein to fat ratios of any food. I'll eat a chunk of it after a workout simply for the protein.<br /><br />I totally see what you are saying about the grill instructions.The Chubby Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959030083261100332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092643544352465048.post-84857806970736335512012-02-14T06:23:51.795-08:002012-02-14T06:23:51.795-08:00The only big note I have is that two of the four b...The only big note I have is that two of the four burgers fell apart on me, but I think that was more user error than anything else. Great idea to use the measuring cup to portion the patties! My problem, I think, is that I should have just moved them directly from the measuring cup to the oil rather than having a plate as the middle man. Also, I flipped them after about 3 minutes, but I think I really should have kept them on the first side for 4-5 minutes to let them firm up and then adjusted the time accordingly on the second side.<br /><br />I like the crispness that the burgers take on, and the flavor is really good overall. I've discovered, though, that I don't necessarily care for the somewhat nutty taste of tempeh. I think that when I make these again, I'll add some crushed red pepper and/or chili powder to balance out the flavor of the tempeh.<br /><br />One last thing--in the final paragraph, the second sentence is worded sort of funny. Do you mean that the grill step is optional? Maybe include the words "optional step" at the beginning of that paragraph? I grilled them after pan-frying them, and I definitely think that step added to the flavor. <br /><br />By the way, lately when my husband and I sit down to dinner, he's started asking, "Is this a Chubby?"
