Mediterranean Veggie Burgers

Ingredients

Directions

Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water.

Bring to a boil.

Remove from heat and let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain and finely chop; set aside.

Meanwhile, bring broth (or water) to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Stir in millet and salt; return to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the millet is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.

Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Fluff with a fork; transfer to a plate to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

While the millet cooks, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and light brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Gradually stir in spinach; cover and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, 30 to 60 seconds.

Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Transfer to a plate; let cool for about 10 minutes.

Prepare Olive Ketchup, if using.

Place the millet in a food processor and pulse to mix lightly.

Add the spinach mixture and pulse until coarsely chopped.

Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the feta, basil, breadcrumbs, pepper and the reserved sun-dried tomatoes; mix well.

With dampened hands, form the mixture into seven 1/2-inch-thick patties, using about 1/2 cup for each.

Using 2 teaspoons oil per batch, cook 3 to 4 patties at a time in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through, about 4 minutes per side.

Toast English muffins (or buns).

Garnish the burgers with arugula, tomatoes and Olive Ketchup, if desired.
