Baked
Millet
Ingredients:
4 cups Water
2 cups Millet
Dulse (dried seaweed), to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 400° F. Bring water to a boil in a 2-quart
ovenproof pot or casserole; add millet and dulse. When water
returns to a boil, cover and transfer to oven and bake for
1/2 hour. Remove dulse and fluff with a fork before serving.
Makes
about 7 cups
Variations/Recommendations
If you want a “nuttier” flavor, toast the millet
in a dry skillet or on a sheet pan in the oven, stirring often
to avoid burning, before adding to boiling water.
Serve warm topped with steamed, baked or grilled vegetables.
If using for a dessert or breakfast cereal, omit the dulse.
Replace some of the water with apple or orange juice to sweeten.
Add raisins, chopped apples and/or chopped dates before transferring
to oven. Serve with fresh, lightly toasted, shredded coconut.
Serves 7
