Product Details

This tiny "grain" is gluten-free and packed with vitamins and minerals. In fact, while it's often called a grain because of it's grain-like consistency, millet is actually a seed. It's often used in birdseed mixture, but if you think it's just for the birds, you're missing out on important benefits of millet nutrition for yourself!

Usage

Here's how to prepare your millet:

Rinse it off and remove any stones or un hulled pieces.

Then soak or sprout your millet for 8 - 24 hours prior to preparing it, so that you remove the phytic acid that binds up minerals and enzyme inhibitors that make it difficult to digest.

Another great option to prepare your millet for easy digestion is to add a small amount of fermented liquid such as be Wholegrain to the soaking water. Let the soaking millet remain at room temperature for 48 hours. Add a teaspoon of BE Wholegrain Liquid or your favorite probitioic liquid to your soaking water; it's an excellent way to add minerals and will make your grains even easier to digest.

Cook millet as you would rice but with more water (3 cups water to 1 cup millet). However, if you soak millet, you won't need as much water when you cook it. After soaking, try 1 cup of millet to 2 or 2 ½ cups of water. You determine how much water to use depending on how soft you like your grain.

You will know your millet is finished because the dark yellow color will become opaque.

Millet & Butternut Squash - Mon 26th Oct 2009
Millet and Butternut Squash.



Millet is a very versatile grain with a sweet, nutty flavor that goes exceptionally well with squash.

Traditional Chinese Medicine recommends millet for problems of blood sugar and the pancreas.

You can make fresh millet for this recipe or use leftover millet by simply steaming it and allowing it to cool.



Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 35 to 40 minutes

Yield: 4 servings



1 cup millet

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon curry powder

2 cups peeled and diced butternut squash

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/2 cup cooked corn

2-1/2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro (coriander)



1. After washing and rinsing the millet, dry roast the millet in a large skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes.

Stir constantly until the millet starts to pop.

2. Remove the millet from the skillet, and set aside.

3. Toast the mustard seeds and curry powder in the skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until they're aromatic.

4. Mix the millet, mustard seeds, squash, ginger, corn, water, and sea salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.

5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the millet has absorbed all the water.

6. Remove the pan from the heat. When the mixture is cool, add the cilantro.

7. Wet your hands and blend the mixture to a uniform consistency. Form the mixture into 12 cakes and grill for approximately
3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
Alternatively, dust the cakes with a coating of flour, heat a tablespoon of oil into a skillet and lightly fry for 3-4 minutes each side.8. Serve hot.
