How to Cook Millet

Some people think millet is a little tasteless but it doesn’t have to be when you cook it well!
What learned in my hippie day was to lightly toast it before cooking. This gives it a richer nutty flavour. Millet has thus become a favourite gluten-free grain of mine!
Did you know that Millet is an Alkalizing Grain! It is a Superfood.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • Add millet to a pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Dry sauté on medium heat till golden brown, stirring constantly. NOTE:  If you hear a POPPING noise, your heat is too high.
  • Add water and sea salt.
  • Cover with the lid, bring to a boil and simmer for 25 to 35 minutes, till all the water is absorbed (millet should be dry).
  • OR this only works on an electric stove. Cover with the lid, bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes, then turn off the heat. Leave on an electric stove burner that you have been cooking on with the lid on (do not peek) Leave for 30 minutes; all the water will be absorbed (millet should be dry).
