Millet recipe – makes 12 millet patties

Chef Manolo would like to share one of his special recipes – an oft-requested perennial favorite in the dining room here. Delicious and healthy!

Ingredients:
• 1 cup millet
• 2 cups yams, sweet potatoes or a mixture of both – peeled and chopped
• juice of 1 lime
• 1-2 tsp ancho chili powder
• 1 tsp chipotle purée
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
• 2 Tbsp fresh oregano, minced
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Prep:
1. Dry roast millet until aromatic, add 2 cups water or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, place tight fitting lid on and turn down to simmer for 15-20 minutes until water has absorbed.
2. Steam sweet potatoes (or yams)
3. Combine ingredients, use ice cream scooper or 1/4 cup measure and form patties on parchment-lined cookie sheet
4. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and serve with either roasted red pepper sauce or – my favorite – a dollop of pesto

Enjoy – and let us know what you think!
