To prepare sunflower seeds, toast them on a baking

sheet at 350°F for 7 minutes;

1 cup uncooked millet

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa

3 cups water or vegetable broth

1 tsp. salt

2 Tbs. olive oil

1 1/2 cups finely diced onion

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup finely chopped celery

5 medium cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1 1/2 cups raw sunflower seeds, toasted and ground

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

2 Tbs. umeboshi vinegar

2 Tbs. tamari or reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Red Pepper Puree (July '00, p46), Broiled Vegetables

(July '00, p46) and arugula or mesclun (mixed baby

salad greens) for serving

In fine-meshed sieve, rinse millet and quinoa under

cold running water until water runs clear. In medium

saucepan, combine millet, quinoa, water and salt.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir, cover and

return to fast boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer,

covered, until water has been absorbed and steam holes

appear, about 20 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat 1

tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add onion and

cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrots,

celery, garlic, oregano and thyme and cook, stirring

occasionally, 10 minutes.

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil large baking sheet.

In large bowl, combine millet mixture, sautéed

vegetables, sunflower seeds, flour, vinegar, tamari

and pepper. Mix well. Using 1/2 cup for each and

packing firmly, form mixture into 10 round or oval

patties. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until

lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

 

To serve, spoon some pepper puree onto each plate. Top

each with a broiled mushroom, a burger and a broiled

onion and tomato slice. Ring plates with arugula and

serve hot.
