Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 lbs fresh tuna steak – the flesh should be deeply colored and mild smelling
• 4 cloves garlic, passed through a garlic press
• 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
• 2 Tbsp agave nectar
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 sweet red pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 sweet purple or Vidalia onion, finely chopped
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp mixed herbal seasoning of your choice
• Olive oil-based cooking spray
• 4 Ezekiel grain buns or gluten free bun
• Sea salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Place tuna in food processor and pulse until meat resembles texture of ground turkey or beef. In large mixing bowl combine garlic, soy sauce, molasses, green onions, red pepper, Vidalia onions, sesame oil, herbal seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Add tuna. With clean bare hands, mix all ingredients until uniformly distributed. Divide into four parts and shape into flat patties.
2. Coat grill pan with olive oil spray. Place over medium heat. Place patties in grill pan, cook for 2 minutes and flip. Cook for another 2 minutes. This will make a rare burger. If you want your burger medium to well done, cook for another 2 minutes on both sides.
3. Meanwhile, cut buns in half (if they aren’t already separated) and toast lightly. Spread bottom half with hummus. Place lettuce greens of your choice on top and set the burger on top of that. Add condiments of your choice and serve immediately.
