Lots of you have asked for more superhero recipes, and although many of the recipes I've shared in the past are superhero, there's always room for more! So here we go - this is a macro recipe from Dallas-based chef Margaret Lawson. I haven't tried this recipe, but it looks nice and healing. Chef's Note: Patties are a great way to utilize leftover cooked millet, and can be made using any leftover grain. These patties are very flavorful, and if you have leftover millet on hand, this can be a quick main dish served with vegetables on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 diced carrot
  • 1/2 diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for the patties)
  • 1 minced onion (for the patties)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (for the patties)
  • 1/4 cup sesame seed (for the patties)
  • 1 teaspoon or less Oil for browning (patties)

Directions

  1. Add 1 cup millet to 4 cups water (for the millet)
  2. Add ½ diced carrot, ½ diced onion, and 1 tsp sea salt (for the millet)
  3. Simmer for 40 minutes (for the millet)
  4. Combine cooked millet with minced onion, cornmeal, sea salt, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds
  5. Form patties about ¼" thick
  6. Brown patties on both sides in oiled skillet

    Wonderful recipe...I just made for my non-vegan and meat eating family...they loved it! The only change that I made was that I coated the patties in panko that was seasoned with Spike prior to cooking. Will definitely make again!

    I made this for my little family and quite liked it. I made a few changes according to what I thought would get the kids to eat it :0) I did cook my millet with the 1/2 a diced onion, but I omitted the additional 1 minced onion for the patties. I made them into 1.5 inch balls instead of patties. I baked them at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Surprisingly, they reminded me of tater tots! Delicious. Great recipe. Thanks!
