A childhood classic, made with tempeh instead of beef. For those with a fatty liver, eating soy protein may help alleviate some of the symptoms of fatty liver disease.*
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 large onion, minced
- 16 ounces packaged tempeh
- 1 green bell pepper, minced

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- Four lightly toasted hamburger buns
Directions
- Heat a large pan over medium heat, add oil and onion cooking until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
