Mondo Veggie Burger With Millet Recipes

MILLET VEGETABLE BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine millet, shallot, garlic, carrot, zucchini, parsley, thyme, and olive oil and mix well. Add egg and mix until fully incorporated; season with salt and pepper.
• Using a 1/2 cup dry measuring cup, scoop out millet mixture and lightly pack. Turn out onto work surface and flatten to make a burger. Repeat process making three more burgers.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil. When the oil is heated, add burger, working in batches if necessary. Cook, gently turning once, until a golden crust has formed on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Alternatively, the burgers may be baked in a 375-degree oven on a baking sheet for 30 minutes.
• Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce and tomato and a dollop of yogurt.

MONDO VEGGIE BURGER WITH MILLET

Steps:

• Combine mushrooms, shallots, and olive oil in a stockpot over low heat. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates almost completely, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove mixture from the pot and let cool.
• Finely grate carrots and celery; dice garlic. Roughly chop the mushroom and shallots and place all vegetables in the pot over medium heat. Add water, broth, vinegar, paprika, coriander, salt, cumin, thyme, and marjoram. Stir gently, cover, and bring to a simmer.
• Add millet, rice, peas, and lentils. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat; let cool until safe to handle.
• Form mixture into 4- to 5-ounce patties. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat; fry patties until a crust forms on the outside, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

MILLET & QUINOA VEGGIE BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine millet, quinoa, potato and veggie stock in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes. Sauté the red onion & garlic in coconut oil until you get the texture/coloration that you desire. I like mine to have a little bite and crunch still, so I don't cook it for long. Combine all of the ingredients and mix with a hand mixer, blender, or food processor. The food processor method really incorporates everything to give a sturdy patty, but if time doesn't permit they are great just mixing by hand too. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form burgers using approximately ¼ cup of mixture from the batch. Place each burger on a baking tray. Bake 20 min and then flip each burger and bake an additional 20 min. Let the burgers cool slightly. You can also pan fry them in a bit of oil (they get a bit crispier and have amazing flavor, but of course adds more oil and fat to the burger). This makes about 18 patties depending on the size. I form them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and freeze them. Makes for really quick meals later in the week. :)

VEGETARIAN BURGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potato, and prick with a fork. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and peel when cool enough to handle. Transfer to a large bowl, mash, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, rinse millet. Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil; add millet and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and add to mashed sweet potato; mix to combine.
• Place carrot and celery in a food processor; pulse to chop finely. Transfer from processor to a small bowl. Pulse onion and garlic until finely chopped, and add to carrot and celery. Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic, onions, celery, and carrots; cook until onions are translucent, about 7 minutes. Add to millet mixture; stir to combine.
• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and peas; cook until tender but still firm, about 3 minutes. Drain; transfer peas to a bowl of ice water for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain again, and combine with chickpeas in a food processor; pulse to chop medium-fine. Add to millet mixture.
• Add coriander, cumin, fennel, cayenne, flour, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, chives, parsley, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper. Mix well, and form into 8 patties.
• Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add four patties, and cook until golden brown and heated through, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Keep warm in a low oven; repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and patties.
• Serve immediately with sprouts and tahini sauce on buns brushed with olive oil and toasted. Serve Grilled Pineapple and Avocado Salsa on the side.
