Bank On It Basil Millet Cakes

Well, the abundant basil harvest and the Eat Down have generated all kinds of creative recipes.  Since millet is a great grain that is way too overlooked, I decided to give make it a star entree.  Millet is rich in vitamins, especially niacin, B6 and folic acid, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc.  It is gluten free and can be found in the bulk section of the grocery store.

Combine:

3 cups cooked millet (1 cup dry with 3 cups water)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 grated onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 grated summer squash
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 handful chopped fresh basil leaves

Make into 3 inch patties and bake on a greased baking sheet at 340F. Bake 40 minutes or until crisp on both sides.  Delicious dressed with honey mustard and served with greens.
