Ingredients list for Spicy  Zucchini Patties

Makes 12-13 patties:

• 1 1/3 lbs (600g) of cooked millet (count 1 volume uncooked millet for 2 volumes water)
• 2 grated zucchini
• 2 coffee spoons malt yeast
• 1 handful of seaweed flakes
• Spices (pepper, turmeric, cumin, nettle powder…)
• 1-2 tablespoons tamari
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3/4 cup (140g) buckwheat flour
• Chopped herbs of your choice
• 1/2 lb (200g) of ground meat or tomato sauce – optional

Directions

Cooking the millet
1. Rinse the millet and soak in the water at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Bring the water and millet to a boil, then quickly turn down the heat and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and let sit uncovered for a few minutes to cool down.

Cooking the patties
1. Grate the zucchini with the skin on. Press thoroughly into a colander to drain the water from the vegetable.
2. Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Shape patties and fry in a hot pan with a bit of neutral oil (sunflower).
3. Serve with sauce of your choice — yogurt sauce, mustard, tahini, or pesto.
