Millet Burgers

this was really good for a vegetarian meal. i added an egg and let it cool before frying since other reviewers said that it fell apart. My patties stayed intact without any problems. I used olive oil instead of seame. I also added garlic and cumin. It reminded us of falafel but much less dense. My husband ate his with cheese on it and I ate them plain.. I will make these again.

I really like millet and love to try recipes that call for it. I don't eat veggie burgers often, so I can't really compare these to other grain burgers, but I thought they were pretty good. Budgiegirl's review made me concerned about the burgers falling apart, so I added in an egg and 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs after adding the cornmeal. Even with those additions, I had a burger fall apart while being fried, but the other burgers held together for the most part. After simmering the millet for 35 minutes, it was very done, so I sauteed the carrots, onions, and celery separately and then mixed them into the millet rather than simmering them with the millet. Without the sesame oil, these burgers would be a fairly blank slate, spice-wise, and I agree with Budgiegirl that you could spice them up however you want to.

I have had hulled millet in the house for years for my parrots but until I ran into a recipe for millet vegetable soup I didn't know I could eat millet too. I have been looking for good millet recipes ever since. This was pretty good. Only problem is that it made a lot and I am only one person. It didn't seem to stick together well after I refriderated it. Maybe it would have if I brought back to room temperature before attempting to fry it. It seems like you could spice it up anyway you wanted too.
