Veggie Burgers with Red Lentils and Millet (vegan, gluten free and soy free)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup millet dry
- 3/4 cup red lentils dry
- 2 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 Tb. coconut oil
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 3/4 cup oats gluten free if preferred
- 1 medium carrot, minced (approx 1/2 cup)
- 2 stalks celery, minced (approx 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 tsp salt or to taste, see note
Instructions
- Bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the millet, red lentils, coriander and cumin. Reduce heat slightly and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes (until all liquid is absorbed).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the sunflower seeds and oats and blend until the consistency is similar to that of flour.
- Add the oat/sunflower mix, the coconut oil, carrots, celery, parsey and salt to the millet/lentil mixture. You'll want to do this while that mixture is still warm. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- To form the veggie burgers, place 1/3 cup of the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of the measuring cup to flatten to about 1/3" thick. Repeat this with all the mixture. You should end up with 10-12 burgers.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F, flipping burgers once halfway through.
Notes
Regarding the salt: The salt you add will vary based on your preference and the amount of salt in the broth you use. I used a low sodium vegetable broth and added 3/4 tsp salt.
