Description
Millets are small-seeded grasses that flourish in difficult growing conditions. The grain resembles small yellow beads, and has a mildly sweet, nutty flavour.
-
Directions
Rinse 1 cup grain. Add 2 cups boiling water in a pot and cover. Reduce to simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until millet is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Millet can also be cooked in a rice cooker. For a creamy porridge, stir frequently, adding extra water. Try toasting the grain before cooking for a nuttier flavour.
-
Uses
Whole cooked millet can be used as a side dish to replace rice or mashed potatoes, or cooked with extra liquid to be served as a porridge. It can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, and as a substitute for other grains for nutritional diversity. Try substituting for buckwheat, rice, or quinoa. Whole or cracked millet can be added to breads and muffins to add flavour and texture.
