Let
me begin this post by saying that this recipe may have single-handedly saved my
sanity. Yep, it's that powerful. It should wear a cape. 6 weeks out from
competition and I am eating fish 4-5 times a day. With
my food sensitivities, I can't smother it in mustard like I did last time, and
there's only so much sriracha an athlete can consume (again 4-5 times a day).
So... I sat down and made a list of what I can eat. Then I pretty much threw it
all in the food
processor and guess what? It worked!!!! These babies are
AWESOME!!!! I've even traveled with them - no fishy smell for the poor souls
around me! So, I won't delay any longer... here I give you my Tilapia Burgers.
Enjoy.

Cook Time:
Ready In:
INGREDIENTS
-
1.5 lb tilapia (not frozen)
-
4 egg whites
-
1 tsp seasoning* (herbs de provence, or other blend, see note below)
-
1/4 cup cilantro
-
1 1/2 cup fresh spinach
-
2 green onions (spring onions), trimmed
-
1/2 orange pepper (or other color of choice)
-
2 large celery stalks, trimmed
-
1/2 zucchini, trimmed
-
1/2 jalapeño, seeded
-
1/2 cup
Bragg Nutritional Yeast
-
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add tilapia and cook just
until meat turns white (don't overcook, this only takes a couple minutes).
-
Drain fish well.
-
In food processor, combine all the veggies, until finely chopped.
-
In a large bowl, add tilapia, veggies, egg whites, seasoning and nutritional
yeast.
- Mix well.
-
Form into "burger" patties.
-
Heat a large skillet on medium high. Spray with cooking oil (I use coconut spray
or olive oil spray).
-
When skillet is hot, add burgers and cook about 5 minutes each side, until
golden & crispy on outside. Tip... I use two spatulas to turn these over, one
under and one on top then just flip.
-
Serve with pico de gallo.
TIPS... this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, corn free, and nut
free.
You may change up the ingredients, for example... if you have room, you can add
some cheese, or different veggies. Try it with Broccoli and Cheddar!
*Seasoning note... be free-handed with the spices!!! You can change the whole flavor profile as often as you like! Use Herbs de Provence, or Penzey's Mural of Flavor, or Mrs Dash Southwest Chipotle... or whatever you like!
