Ingredients
  • Sauce: 1 avocado, 3 tbs tahini, juice of 1 lemon, 1 clove garlic, 2 tbs fresh dill, salt and pepper to taste, water as needed
  • 2 medium yukon potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbs vegan butter (can substitute olive oil)
  • 1 package tempeh
  • 1 tbs tamari
  • 1 tbs ground flax seed
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • optional- 1 tbs kelp flakes
  • oil or non-stick spray for frying (I used coconut)
Instructions
  1. Combine all sauce ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until tender (about 15 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, crumble tempeh into a small bowl. Add tamari and let marinate until needed.
  4. Prepare flax "egg" by combining flax seed with 3 tbs warm water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Drain potatoes and place in a medium bowl. Add vegan butter (or oil) and mash until mostly smooth.
  6. Stir in tempeh, flax "egg", celery, onion garlic, salt, pepper and kelp flakes (if using) and mix thoroughly.
  7. Heat oil in a pan at medium-high heat. Use your hands to form mixture into patties about 2-3" wide. Fry patties on each side until gold brown (about 5 min).
  8. Serve with creamy dill sauce and top with fresh chopped dill.
