Millet Tofu Patties

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup millet, rinsed

3 cups boiling water or vegetable stock

1/2 pound firm water-packed tofu, drained and crumbled

1 cup chopped mustard greens

1 tablespoon tamari (natural soy sauce)

dash of cayenne pepper

 

 

 

 

 

Heat oil in a cooking pot. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 3

minutes. Stir in millet and fry until millet is lightly colored. Pour

boiling water or stock over millet (stand back to avoid splattering

oil), cover pot, lower heat, and cook on medium-low for 20 to 30

minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Allow millet to cool briefly.

 

Combine cooked millet, tofu, mustard greens, tamari, and cayenne in a

blender or food processor. Process until desired consistency is

reached.

 

Spread mixture about 2/3-inch think on a baking sheet and chill

thoroughly.

 

When ready to serve, preheat broiler. Cut mixture into 8 flat cakes.

Broil on each side until golden brown.

 

Serves 4–6

Millet is a terrific choice for whole-grain newbies or anyone looking

for an alternative to brown rice. It’s tasty, it has a great

nutritional profile (very high in protein and fiber, and also high in

minerals), and unlike other grains, it’s alkalizing in the body. This

delicious recipe features millet, tofu, and mustard greens in

delicious patty form. Substitute beet greens if you can’t find or

don’t care for mustard greens.
