Here are a couple of recipe suggestions to consider while you’re cooking your millet:
While it’s cooking, sauté veggies such as onion, tomato, mushrooms, etc. Stir into hot millet.
Add one or two tablespoons of toasted, dry millet to muffins, quick breads and scones for a healthy crunch factor.
Stuff flavored millet into peppers and bake away.
Use cooked millet in place of rice in many dishes. Great served as bed for stir-fried shrimp, chicken, beef or tofu.
Make millet “mashed potatoes” – cook 1 cup millet in 3 cups water with a little salt. Simmer, covered for up to an hour or until water is absorbed. Mash like potatoes with milk and butter.
Add millet to soups and stews in place of rice or noodles.
Note that millet comes in flour form too:
You can replace 30% of your all purpose flour with an equal amount of millet flour when baking. You can also use millet flour for muffins, breads and pie crusts.
