Did you know that
Millet is a cereal suitable for the diet of celiacs because it does not form gluten in contact with liquids. If the recipe is intended for people with celiac disease, it is recommended to always check that the foods, on the label, bear the mark of the crossed ear which ensures the absence of gluten.- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (ventilated).
- Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a heart-shaped mold (cookie cutter) on the plate, then fill the mold with a portion of the dough. Press lightly with your hands or the back of a spoon until the surface is level. Gently remove the aluminum mold. Repeat this operation also with the other portions of dough.
- Brush the surface of the millet burgers with a drizzle of oil and bake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the accompanying sauce. Peel the pre-cooked red turnips, cut them into pieces and combine them in the blender. Add the natural soy yogurt, flavor with chives, salt and pepper. Blend everything until you get a sauce: if the mixture is too thick, add a little soy milk.
- Remove the veggie burgers from the oven and serve hot with the beetroot sauce on the side or mirror.
