How to Make Millet Burgers

  1. Rinse 1 cup of millet thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.
  3. While the millet cooks, prepare the vegetables: finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Grate 1 medium carrot.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the grated carrot and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked millet, sautéed vegetables, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor), 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well to combine.
  6. Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on desired size.
  7. **Option 1 (Pan-fried):** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  8. **Option 2 (Baked):** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until heated through and slightly browned.
  9. Serve your delicious millet burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
