Step 1
These millets cakes are easy to prepare and take only minutes to cook.
Their nutty flavor comes out even more when you add a
These are a great choice to serve in the summer, for parties, or for play dates, especially when
it's your turn to give the neighborhood kids dinner and you want
to make something special.
(Makes 16 Patties)
egg, beaten
Bring the water to a boil in a small pot.
Add the millet, cover and reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes or until fluffy and a little sticky.
Place the onion, bell pepper, carrot, garlic and italian herbs in food processor and pulse and until vegetables are in tiny pieces.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the vegetables. Saute until for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Place the millet, vegetables and egg in a bowl and throughly combine.
Place 1 tbsp of the mixture between your hands and make patties. (You may need to moisten your hands with water so they don’t get too sticky).
Once all the patties are made and resting on a plate, heat 1 tbsp or oil in a saute pan over medium heat and saute the patties for 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
*After step 6, place patties on a sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Then transfer to a ziploc bag, label and freeze up to 4 months. When ready, defrost in fridge for 24 hours then follow steps 7-8.
How about “Momma’s magic millet cakes” for a name? And I’m going to add some kale into the processor with the onions, etc., to sneak in some greens. Thanks for the recipe!
@ Eddietry using a couple TBS ground flaxseed and water to make a paste and see if it works in place of egg no onion add extra carrot or maybe potato? Banana is used as a sub in many recipies for egg but it would really change the flavor, you could omit the peppers and onions add extra carrots and add raisins and cinnamon that’s my best guess millet is already GF
I made this using a Flax mixture as an Egg Replacer. They were GREAT!
Mix in bowl and let sit for few minutes while it forms a gel consistency.
Would love to make this. It looks so delish.
what can i use in its place. I am also gluten free.
This is a delicious mix. Mine fell apart in the pan, so I scrambled it for hash – another delicious idea! I just put the whole hash on a paper towel-lined dish, let the excess absorb off, then covered the dish with another lined with a paper towel, flipped it, let it sit that way, then dug in hungrily.
Peas are a different structure than carrots and they hold more liquid which is why it did not hold their shape. Maybe adding some more millet or some flour to dry it up would work too. How was the consistency?
You can use Dhall and Bean (any legume) in same way but don’t cook before making patties.Just soak in water for over night and then drain out water crush/grind,keep 2-3 hours to set and then mix with same ingiedent (salt,onion,papper,curry leaves,small prawns etc) and fry with oil.
These are so good! The only change I made was to add about a tablespoon of grated parmesan to the mixture before cooking.
