Millet Burgers with Olives, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Pecorino

These Mediterranean-inspired millet burgers offer a sophisticated twist on the traditional veggie patty. Packed with the salty punch of green olives, caper berries, and sharp Pecorino-Romano, each bite is a balanced blend of savoury flavours. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a delicate crunch, while fresh herbs like marjoram and oregano bring a classic aromatic profile. Unlike many meat-free alternatives, these patties rely on the natural starch of the millet to create a satisfying, hearty texture that holds together beautifully in the pan.

This vegetarian dish is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal or a relaxed weekend lunch. For a complete dining experience, serve these golden-brown patties inside toasted brioche buns with a dollop of creamy aioli, or alongside a fresh rocket salad tossed in a sharp lemon vinaigrette. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes and garlic ensures a deep umami flavour that will appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Ingredients for Millet Burgers with Olives, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Pecorino

  • 725ml (720 ml) water

  • 240ml millet

  • 10 chopped sun-dried tomatoes

  • 1 vitlöksklyfta

  • 40g pine nuts

  • 50g pitted green olives, chopped

  • 40g packed grated Pecorino-Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • 4 large caper berries, stemmed and then minced

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh marjoram leaves or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 2 matskedar osaltat smör

  • 2 matskedar olivolja

  1. Combine 725ml water and millet in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer slowly until it's like a thick, coarse, hot breakfast cereal, about 30 minutes. Uncover and stir well to incorporate any last bits of water. Scrape the millet into a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, put the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in a small heat-proof bowl. Cover with boiling water and steep for 10 minutes.

  3. Place the pine nuts in a dry medium skillet set over medium-low heat. Toast until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Pour them into the bowl with the millet.

  4. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in a fine-mesh sieve and add them to the bowl with the millet. Add the olives, cheese, caper berries, oregano, and marjoram. Stir well, mashing the ingredients together. You want texture here, bits of this and that scattered throughout the burgers, not a baby-food puree. Use dampened hands to form the mixture into 6 round, even patties.

  5. Melt the butter in the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, preferably nonstick. Slip the patties into the skillet and cook until mottled brown and somewhat crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip them and continue cooking until set throughout, mottled brown on the other side, and now nicely crisp, about 4 more minutes. If your skillet isn't large enough to hold all 6 patties at once, work in two batches, using 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for each batch.
