Tips:

  • Choose the right millet: For this recipe, it's best to use hulled millet, which has been dehusked and is quicker to cook.
  • Rinse the millet thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the millet according to the package directions: Be sure to use a ratio of 1 cup millet to 2 cups water.
  • Let the millet cool slightly before using it: This will make it easier to handle and prevent the lettuce wraps from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities are endless! Try roasted vegetables, shredded chicken or tofu, or black beans.
  • Be creative with your toppings: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian millet lettuce wraps are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover millet. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these lettuce wraps a try!
