Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Millet

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of millet and 2 cups of water. Add 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.

  2. 2

    Fluff and Season

    Once cooked, fluff the millet with a fork. Stir in 1 tbsp of olive oil, 0.25 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Let it cool slightly.

Mushroom and Onion Filling

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft, about another 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Soy Sauce

    Pour in 3 tbsp of soy sauce and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Patty

    On two slices of toasted sourdough, place an even layer of the millet patty, followed by the mushroom and onion filling. Top with sliced tomatoes, a handful of sprouts, and your choice of mustard and mayonnaise.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Top with the remaining slices of sourdough bread, slice in half, and serve immediately.
