It’s not merely a vegan alternative but a star dish in its own right, offering a palate of flavors that is both comforting and invigorating.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked millet
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers), finely diced
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (mixed with 5 tablespoons water to form a ‘flax egg’)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil for frying
For Assembly:
- 4 vegan buns, toasted
- Fresh lettuce or spinach
- Sliced tomatoes
- Vegan mayo or preferred sauce
Preparation:
- Flax Egg: In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water and set aside for 10 minutes until it achieves a gel-like consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked millet, diced vegetables, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, smoked paprika, and the prepared flax egg. Mix well until the ingredients are well-combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper and mix again.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a burger patty.
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have a crispy exterior.
- To assemble, spread vegan mayo (or your choice of sauce) on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Place lettuce or spinach on top, followed by the millet-vegetable patty, and then a slice of tomato. Cap off with the top half of the bun.
