Ingredients for Tempeh Parmesan Burger with Habanero Dip
- I made these patties with original tempeh, almond flour, vegan parmesan cheese (powdered style) and some herbs for seasoning.
- To make it even more delicious and desirable I blended some habanero dip with a vegan yogurt base and some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Habanero dip is good on almost anything. I always make the dip in bulk and refrigerate it.
However, since it has yogurt the dip might get a little sour after a while but I like that taste too.
These versatile patties can be devoured as a lettuce wrap. I enjoy these patties on any greens with generous serving of the dip.
I would like to warn a little that the Habanero dip is spicy and it will set your taste buds on fire.
If you are a habanero fan then I am sure you know what I mean. These peppers are super desirable and flavor any dish with its zesty spice. I love these peppers.
While handling habanero peppers do not forget to wear cooking gloves. Also remember to wash your hands afterwards or you may feel the pepper all day long.
