How to Cook Millet: Millet is prepared like rice, and takes 20 – 25 minutes to cook. You can also cook millet in a rice cooker or pressure cooker. Find this recipe at https://bit.ly/17gch4r
You might be thinking, oh millet – isn’t that bird seed or hippie food?
Well, yes, and it’s also extremely nutritious, just as nutritious as quinoa, if not more so.
Plus it is 1/5th the price of quinoa.
So in my book millet is the new quinoa.
First thing I’m going to do is cook some basic millet. The way that I like to cook it is to toast it and then add some boiling water.
Two and a half cups of water to one cup of millet
A little bit of salt, bring it back to a boil.
Put the lid on and cook it for 20 to 25 minutes.
Now I’ve got my sauté pan heating up and I’m going to stir and toast this millet until it starts to turn a nice golden brown color.This is the kind of millet that you find in North America, the one that they feed to birds.
I’ve got the heat on medium high, stirring all the while, no oil in the pan.
I read somewhere that if it starts popping, then you’ve got the heat too high. Mine is popping so I turned it down a bit.
It’s starting to turn color now. Maybe a little more.
I think that this is toasted now, it’s not burnt but it’s definitely toasted.
I need 2 1/2 cups of boiling water, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Add the boiling water and salt, bring it to a boil. It boils as soon as you put the boiling water in. Put the lid on, set the timer for twenty minutes.
When you roast millet, it cooks up really nice and dry and fluffy. When you don’t roast it, it tends to be gummier, which doesn’t matter if you’re going to use it to make cereal or put it in a stew.
But if you want to serve it with a nice sauce, like a vegetable curry sauce or a mushroom gravy sauce, then you want it nice and dry and fluffy.
This is just plain cooked millet, no roasting or anything like that.
This morning I used it to make some millet chickpea patties.

This is a millet and mung dahl stew, something quick and comforting and satisfying that you can make for dinner, especially if you have already cooked dahl and millet in the fridge.
Even if you don’t. It just takes twenty minutes to half an hour to cook those things, and you can always make extra.

To make millet porridge, use some of this cooked millet and a couple of cups of non-dairy milk, some raisins, nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds.
This is a flat bread dough that I make, with millet flour, oat flour and a combination of different starches. https://www.savvyvegetarian.com/vegetarian-recipes/gf-flat-bread-tortilla.php
Millet is really pretty versatile, you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and in many parts of the world they do exactly that.
We are lucky here that we have other things that we can eat but if you feel like you’re missing out on quinoa because it’s so expensive, just go for millet.
Thanks for joining me to make millet. Enjoy your millet whatever and I’ll see you next time!
