We make a delicious orange cream from the sweet potatoes and refine them with roasted seeds. This gives the recipe a nutty note. The wonderful yellow millet falafels are very easy to make and taste wonderful. You can still prepare a few more of them and then eat them as an inlay for a lush garden / herb salad.
Taking it to work as a snack is a great idea, or you can wrap fried zucchini strips around it and serve it as a appetizer.
Just give it a try.
MILLET falafels
With wet hand roll cooked millet into small balls / falafels and sauté on all sides until golden and crispy. You get about 15-20 millet balls from the mass.
You are welcome to double the amount of the sweet potato puree, then lunch is enough for 4 people.
