I often saw millet on the shelves in my local grocery store but a little voice in my head would always ask How to cook millet? It was a friend of mine who showed me what to do and I have only cooked millet using this method since then.
The secret to this recipe is to toast the millet in a pan before adding water and bringing it to a boil. The second secret is salt. Don’t be afraid to season the cooked millet with as much salt as you like. Before serving drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle in some of your favorite herbs or spices.
To make my Millet, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 ½ cups of millet into a large dry frying pan or heavy bottomed pot. Toast over medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour 3 cups of water into the pan and season with a few pinches of kosher salt. Bring the water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to very low. Place a lid on the pan and simmer for about 17 minutes.
When all the water has been absorbed, fluff the millet with a fork.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter or sprinkle in your favorite herbs or spices. Serve alongside your favorite dish.
You no longer need to ask yourself How to cook millet now that you have this recipe. Serve it as a tasty alternative to rice or pasta. Try it out soon and remember to tag #cookmerecipes in your posts!
