Lemon Millet Patties

This recipe is from The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook (one of my favorite books). You will need a food processor to make these. You can make the patties up to 3 days ahead of time and store them in between pieces of waxed paper in a storage container in your refrigerator. My 13 year old twins just love these and ALWAYS go for seconds!

Serves 4

1 cup millet
2 cups water
pinch of sea salt

2 small carrots, chopped
1-2 green onions, chopped
small handful fresh parsley
3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3-4 tablespoons virgin coconut oil for sauteing

1. Rince dry millet in a fine strainer under warm running water. Place rinsed millet, water, and sea salt into a medium pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to a low simmer and cook for 30 minutes.

2. Place chopped carrot, chopped green onions, fresh parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sea salt into a food processor and pulse a few times. Add cooked millet and continue to pulse until just mixed.

3. Form millet mixture into patties. Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Lightly saute patties on both sides.
