Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup millet
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces Canadian bacon
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 medium egg white
  • 8-10 mini bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs

Method

  • Place the millet and water in a covered saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes. When fully cooked, fluff millet with fork and toss in 1 tsp. of the olive oil. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, mix the Canadian bacon and the parsley until the mixture resembles ground meat, about 1-2 minutes.
  • In a skillet, saute the garlic and onion in the remaining 3 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the Canadian bacon mixture and cook until browned, an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine millet, onion-bacon mixture, paprika, and egg white.
  • Halve the peppers lengthwise and stuff with millet-bacon mixture. Top with the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Bake peppers on a greased baking sheet at 400 degrees until browned, about 15 minutes.
