The Detox Winter Detox - Yummy Millet and Veg Burgers

Although the Detox Winter Detox includes meat for the carnivores, everyone can benefit from having more plant based meals.  I've put this millet burger together today so hope you like it.  The burgers are soft but they held together well in the pan.  You can fry them or bake them in the oven.  They freeze really well and this recipe made 8 decent sized patties.

1 cup of millet
1 medium sweet potato grated
1 large organic carrot - grated
1 small onion chopped finely
2 cloves of garlic chopped (add more if you love garlic)
2 large chestnut mushrooms finely chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon pine nuts
4 large kalettes chopped (you can just use finely chopped kale but the kalettes are more tender - you can substitute any green such as flat leaf parsley, spinach, chopped brocolli etc)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon of tahini
Salt & Pepper

Add the millet to a pan of boiling water and place the grated sweet potato and carrot in a colander and put over the millet with a lid on. Bring to the boil then simmer for ten minutes approximately.

Add some extra virgin coconut oil to a frying pan, melt and then add the spices, onion, garlic, mushroom and cook gently, stirring often, until the onions are soft then take off the heat. 

Drain the millet and then add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix thoroughly.  Add i teaspoon of salt and a few twists of pepper.  At this stage I added two of my stock ice cubes (just celery, carrot, spices, small onion, bouquet garni - cook until soft, boil until liquid reduces and then blitz the lot.  I then put it into ice cube trays and freeze).  Leave the mixture to cool.  Dust a cutting board with coconut flour and then form handfuls of the mixture into patties.  Bake in the oven or heat in a frying pan until they are browned on both sides.

I had two burgers on a bed of watercress, spinach and rocket with garlic mushrooms.  Enjoy :-}

PS I have been experimenting with making coconut flour flatbreads but have yet to create the perfect example.  I will crack on as I think they would be nice with these burgers.  There's a job for the weekend for me.
