Heavenly Millet-Tofu Croquettes

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 4 cups cooked millet
• 4 cups firm tofu, mashed
• 1/2 cup smooth, natural-style peanut butter
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 8 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)
• 3 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• paprika
• sesame seeds

Directions:

This meal smells heavenly when it''s cooking! I used to have a vegetarian cooking business, and this was a favorite meal of my clients. It''s incredible drizzled with Cashew Gravy (http://vegweb.com/recipes/misc/ 2427.shtml).

Preheat oven to 350 (F) degrees. Lightly oil a cookie sheet.

Simply mix all the ingredients together. Drop mixture by 1/3 cups onto cookie sheet, and form into beautifully rounded croquettes. Sprinkle with paprika then sesame seeds. Cook for 20 minutes or so, until croquettes seem done.

Whip up a quick batch of Cashew Gravy while the croquettes cook!

If you wish, you can freeze the croquettes (for later consumption) prior to cooking. Place the cookie sheet with (uncooked) croquettes in the freezer until they can be easily transferred to a plastic zip lock freezer bag and frozen. When you''re ready to cook them, heat for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
