Millet

Serve with a nice piece of cuttlefish?

OK, maybe not! :D

You have to rinse millet well, then toast the damp grains in a wide frying pan, over a medium heat, till slightly coloured, about 5 minutes. This brings out the nutty flavour. Then cook one part millet to 3 parts water for 45 minutes.

Then you can use them in place of rice in any pilaff recipe, or in place of couscous etc.

Leftover cooked grains make a good base for veggie burger recipes, as it solidifies when cold.

I love these. They make delicious, sweet porridge. Just add milk and keep stirring and adding till you have the right consistancy. Add a grated apple or pear and cook until it has a porridge consistancy. (Just a few minutes.)

We call it fruit yum. My 2 year old loves it.

Hi,the recipe I have is,
100g millet
1 pinch of sea salt
1 onion,peeled and chopped
1 cauliflower,cut into small florets.

wash the millet and drain,place in medium pan of water,add salt and bring to the boil,then lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
place the onion and cauliflower in a pan and add enough water to cover,bring to the boil then simmer for about 5 mins.Remove from the heat and drain,then return it to the pan and mash with potato masher.
Drain the millet and mix through the mashed onion and cauli mixture,serve warm.

Thank you!

Will do one of those tomorrow night! Already have tonight's meal planned. Just wondered what to do with the millet as I found a packet in my cupboard!
