Millet Recipe

[Roda]

I made this recipe that Ipellegr posted in another topic. It was good but I suggest using fresh lemon juice. The bottled was just to acidic and I had to add some sugar to tone it down. Does anyone else have any recipes for millet? Also I have come to the conclusion that any recipe calling for couscous, millet would be a good substitute. My husband actually liked the millet. He has tried buckwheat groats and quinoa various ways and does not like those but does like this. There's hope for him yet!

I used to make this with couscous, but it works fine and is gluten-free if you use millet.

Middle Eastern grain salad

1 cup millet - sear grains in a few T of hot oil for a few minutes to turn some of them varying shades of brown. Cook in water as directed.

Add when cooled:

1 c thinly sliced celery

1 c chopped scallions (or use onion powder to taste)

1 c shredded carrots

1/2 c cashews or almonds

Mix and add dressing:

1/4 c lemon juice

1/2 c olive oil

1 t cinnamon

pinch curry

1/2 t coriander (skip it if you don't have it)

salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste (lots of garlic!)

Serve at room temperature. Unusual and good.

I never liked bread anyway.....

I use millet flour in baking bread, in a mixture of sorghum, amaranth, and millet. I use about half that in the bread, and half other gluten-free flours or meals like almond or almond and potato starch or cornstarch. I also add sunflower seeds and sometimes some whole millet that I've steamed in the microwave. This makes a bread that is very much like conventional multi grain mixes, very nutty.

The above recipe for couscous, if you added chopped fresh tomatoes and mint leaves, instead of the other vegetables, would be very much like taboleh salad.
