Preparation
- Rinse and soak 1 cup (240 g) of millet in plenty of water for 10 minutes.
- Drain it
- Roasting (optional):
For a nutty taste, you can lightly roast the millet. Heat a dry pan over medium heat and add the rinsed millet. Roast the millet, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until it is light golden brown and releases a pleasant aroma.
- Add 2 cups (300 ml) of fresh water or stock to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add the millet.
- Reduce the heat to a low setting, cover the pan and let the millet simmer.
- Simmer the millet for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the millet steam for another 5-10 minutes with the lid on the pan. This ensures that the millet is fully cooked and fluffy.
- Stir the millet with a fork to remove any lumps and loosen the grains.
Usage
- As a side dish: Serve the millet as a substitute for rice or couscous.
- In Salads: Let the millet cool and add it to salads for extra texture and nutritional value.
- In Soups and Stews: Add cooked millet to soups and stews for a nutritious addition.
- Breakfast: Use millet as a base for a nutritious breakfast by combining it with fruit, nuts and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
