Millet Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil
3 -4 slices fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 cup millet, rinsed and drained
3 cups boiling water
sea salt
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
fresh parsley, minced (one handful)
1/2 cup cornmeal

Preparation

Heat a small amount of sesame oil in a saucepan and saute the ginger for 2-3 minutes with a sprinkling of salt.
Add the millet and saute until well-coated with oil and it gives off a nutty fragrance.
Add boiling water, season lightly with salt and reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
Add veggies, re-cover and simmer for about 5 more minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in corn meal.
Allow the mixture to stand for 10-15 minutes before forming burgers.
Shape millet mixture into thick patties.
Heat enough sesame oil in a skillet to pan-fry the burgers.
You will need to make the oil about 1/8-inch deep to fry evenly.
Fry until golden, about 3 minutes each side.
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper.
Serve as you would any conventional burger.
