It's simple to cook and versatile—as these tasty millet burgers prove.

These millet burgers come together quickly because they start with cooked millet. We suggest you cook a big batch of millet and use it for grain salads, side dishes, and these burgers. Grated carrot and zucchini and plenty of chopped parsley give color and moisture to the easy patties, and they cook on the stovetop in less than 10 minutes. Then, you need to choose how to serve them. Our picks include whole wheat burger buns and the usual fixings of lettuce and tomato, with a smear of Greek yogurt rather than ketchup or mustard.
