You will love this millet recipe

What is millet? It is a grain commonly known as bird seed. However, it is not just for birds, it is a people food, chock full of nutrition. You can find it at most healthfood stores. I know that you will love this recipe! I was given permission from a very kind man (Blair Taylor of Longmont, Co., former owner of the Crimson Dragon Health Food Store) to publish this for all of you. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike will all love this healthy recipe. You will want to make it over and over again.

Ingredients:

  • 1 C. millet (cooked in 3 C. water for 30 minutes or until water is absorbed, millet should be the consistency of mashed potatoes)
  • Add 1/2 tsp. basil
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp.black pepper
  • 3 finely chopped scallions
  • 1 Tbsp. Bragg's Liquid Aminos
  • 1/4 C. grated carrot; mix well
  • Make 1"- 2" wide patties
  • Lightly fry in 1Tbsp. ghee, 2-3 minutes on each side (I use olive oil when I don't have any ghee).
  • Serves 4-6

That's it. Easy huh? These taste very similar to hash brown patties but are so nutritious, you will feel good about eating them.

The wonderful thing about millet is it is so nutritious and very affordable. Most people think of bird seed when they think of millet. But I can assure you, it is not just for birds.

I get mine at the health food store and keep it in the refrigerator for storage.
