Best 4 Spiced And Herbed Millet Recipes

SPICED AND HERBED MILLET

Spiced and Herbed Millet image

Millet is an underused grain associated with rough-hewn, well-meaning vegetarianism: although we all think it might be good for us, we doubt it will be one of life's true pleasures. But when it is tossed in a little oil, well-seasoned and simmered in broth, it produces a toothsome graininess, not as nutty as bulgur but more interesting than couscous. Leftovers make a great grain salad the next day: think tabbouleh and add masses of freshly chopped herbs, a judicious amount of good olive oil and a spritz of lemon juice.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups millet
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Place olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add millet and stir until glossy. Add cumin and broth and stir.
Raise heat and bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently just until millet has absorbed all the broth, about 25 minutes.
Remove from heat and add lemon juice, parsley and extra virgin olive oil. Work them into the millet using a fork, fluffing mixture. Transfer to a warmed bowl and serve.
