This dish is similar to grits or polenta and pairs well with steak or grilled pork. For al dente texture, simmer only 15 minutes. A serving offers more than 10 percent of a day's fiber, a dose of iron, and filling protein. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked millet |
3 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place millet in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook 4 minutes or until toasted, stirring constantly.
2. Combine millet, 3 cups water, and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Stir in cheese and remaining ingredients.
