Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- Prepare millet by boiling 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup dry millet in a small saucepan. Lower heat to simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Sauté onion and garlic cloves with 1 teaspoon oil or water, until soft and translucent. Add to the food processor when done.
- Add tempeh to food processor and pulse to break up like ground meat, add all of the remaining meat ingredients except millet and brown rice flour.
- Do not over blend. A dry consistency is best.
