Basic Steamed Millet

No reviews yet

Millet is an ancient grain that was a staple through much of Europe before the use of rice spread in the 15th century. It is still a staple in much of the world particularly in Africa and India, where it has the reputation to be a warming food. Wholegrain millet is extremely nutritious, rich in minerals like selenium, phosphorous and magnesium and also in B complex vitamins. It makes a great substitute for couscous, bulgur or even quinoa. Steamed millet needs toasting before cooking to bring out its full flavor, so don’t skip this step. It’s best not to crowd the grains when you do this, so as here, use a bigger wider pan than the quantity might seem to need.
