Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup millet
20 oz unsalted vegetable stock
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 orange bell pepper
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red chili , deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp ground mixed spice (your choice )
2 ripe tomatoes, skinned and diced
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Dry fry the millet in a large frying pan for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and releasing a smoky aroma, then transfer to a saucepan, Add the stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for about 20 to 25 minutes until the grains are swollen and the stock is absorbed. Transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, grill the peppers under a high heat for 15 to 20 minutes turning them over as one side chars until charred all over. Put in a bowl, cover and leave until cool enough to handle, Remove the pepper skins, core and seed over a bowl to catch the juice. Slice the pepper flesh into short strips.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and mixed spice and fry gently for 5 minutes. Mix in the diced tomatoes and remove from heat.
