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:
- 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.
- Steam sweet potatoes (or yams)
- Combine ingredients, use ice cream scooper or 1/4 cup measure and form patties on parchment-lined cookie sheet
- 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!
