Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

200 g millet
1 cup water
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
50 g dried apricots, finely chopped
60 g sliced almonds
250 g baby spinach leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper

Steps:

Place the millet, dried apricots, water and stock in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to a slow simmer. SImmer 15 to 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the millet is tender.
Meanwhile, using a dry pan, toast the flaked almonds until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside.
Add the spinach and lemon juice to the millet and season with salt and freshly ground pepper (depending on the stock used, you may not need to add any salt). Cover the pan and cook on a very low heat for a few minutes to wilt the spinach.
Serve scattered with the flaked almonds over the top as garnish.

Tips:

Rinse the millet thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
Use a ratio of 1 cup millet to 2 cups water or broth. This will result in a cooked millet that is fluffy and tender.
Cook the millet in a covered pot over medium heat. This will help to prevent the millet from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once the millet has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Or until all of the water or broth has been absorbed.
Fluff the millet with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make them light and airy.
Millet can be served as a side dish, a main course, or even a breakfast cereal. It is a versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes.

Conclusion:

Millet is a healthy and delicious grain that is easy to cook. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Millet can be used in a variety of dishes, making it a versatile addition to any diet. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty grain to try, give millet a try!
