2 cups red lentils
3 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth

FOR PANCAKES
1 egg
2 egg whites
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
1 teaspoon Thai chili garlic sauce (or other Asian hot sauce)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 cups cooked whole millet (see chef note)

Cooking Spray
Instructions
Add the sesame oil to a sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until onions turn clear (about 4 minutes).
Add the Thai chili garlic sauce and lentils. Stir to coat with oil.
Add the broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Puree the lentils using an immersion blender or food processor and stir in scallions.
While the lentils are cooking, whisk together egg, egg whites, coconut milk, Thai chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
Whisk in the cornstarch until there are no lumps remaining. Stir in the soy sauce, cooked millet, and all but ¼ cup of the scallions.
Add the cooking spray to a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the pancake batter onto the sauté pan and use a rubber spatula to flatten. Let cook for 3 minutes or until very golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook another 3 minutes or until very golden brown.
Repeat procedure for remaining 7 pancakes, spraying the pan in between each pancake.
Use pancakes to dip in lentil puree.
RECIPE COST: $8.37

Side Suggestion: Try this with grilled chicken kabobs or a big green salad.
Chef Note: Millet cooks to 4 times its original size. If you only need ½ cup cooked, follow the directions on the package to cook 2 tablespoons millet and ½ cup water.
