Rinse 1 cup of millet.

In a saucepan, combine millet with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until millet is cooked and water is absorbed.

Optional: Roast the millet before cooking to enhance its nutty flavor.

Mince or finely chop 1 onion and mince 1 garlic clove.

Grate 1 carrot.

In a skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened.

Add the grated carrot to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked millet, sautéed vegetables, 1/4 cup wholemeal breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds, 1/4 teaspoon thyme or marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon sage, and 1/4 cup fresh minced parsley.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Form the mixture into patties.

To fry: Fry the patties in a pan with oil until golden brown on both sides.

To bake: Bake the patties at 375°F (200°C) for 40 minutes.

Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a baking dish to create a Millet loaf and bake in the oven until golden brown.
