Preparation

Step 1

Combine millet, quinoa, potato and veggie stock in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes. Sauté the red onion & garlic in coconut oil until you get the texture/coloration that you desire. I like mine to have a little bite and crunch still, so I don't cook it for long. Combine all of the ingredients and mix with a hand mixer, blender, or food processor. The food processor method really incorporates everything to give a sturdy patty, but if time doesn't permit they are great just mixing by hand too. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form burgers using approximately ¼ cup of mixture from the batch. Place each burger on a baking tray. Bake 20 min and then flip each burger and bake an additional 20 min. Let the burgers cool slightly. You can also pan fry them in a bit of oil (they get a bit crispier and have amazing flavor, but of course adds more oil and fat to the burger). This makes about 18 patties depending on the size. I form them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and freeze them. Makes for really quick meals later in the week. :)
