Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (or use some of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for more flavour)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 34 cup millet
  • 1 12 cups low sodium chicken broth or 1 12 cups vegetable broth
  • 12 lemon, juice of
  • 14 cup sun-dried tomato, well drained and finely chopped
  • 12 teaspoon sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 14 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (flat-leaf)

Method

  • In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, celery, and garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Cook until vegetables softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the millet; stir well to coat the grains in oil and cook about 1 minute more.
  • Add broth, lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  • Let cook for 20-25 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed, adding a little extra water or broth if it looks as though it is getting too dry.
  • Remove from the heat and let sit 10 minutes until grains are tender.
  • Fluff with a fork and serve.
