Ingredients

  • 200 g Millet, raw

  • 500 ml Water

  • 4 spoon Oil, olive

  • 0.5 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Carrot, fresh

  • 0.5 piece Bell pepper, red, fresh

  • 0.5 piece Bell pepper, yellow, fresh

  • 0.5 piece Small pumpkins

  • 0.5 piece Leek

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • pieces Breadcrumbs, dried

Steps

  1. Place the millet in a fine sieve and rinse it thoroughly under running water. Drain the rinsed millet.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and quickly sauté the millet. Add water or broth, lightly salt, and simmer gently until it softens (about 15-20 minutes). If needed, add a bit more liquid during cooking. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.

  3. While the millet is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Clean and wash all the vegetables. Cut them into small pieces. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion until translucent. Then add the chopped carrots and cook for a while until they soften.

  4. Add the leek, bell pepper, and zucchini (you can also use other fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand). Season with salt and optionally a bit of pepper, and cook until all the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let it cool to lukewarm.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooled millet. Mix in the beaten egg, sautéed vegetables, and breadcrumbs. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs. You can also add a little grated cheese.

  6. Shape the mixture into thicker patties using wet hands. Fry them in an oiled pan over medium heat until golden brown, ensuring the inside is fully cooked.
