Onion and parsley give this millet pilaf extra flavor. Here, we cook the millet in plenty of water so the grains stay as separate as possible instead of turning gummy. Feel free to add more herbs and seasoning as desired.

Ingredients

1 cup millet
6 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon unrefined sesame oil (not toasted)
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Seasoned sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Place millet and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low to continue a low boil. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until millet is tender. Drain well.

While millet is cooking, heat sesame oil over medium and sauté onion for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add parsley and sauté another minute.

Add well-drained millet and stir to blend. Season with seasoned salt or tamari if preferred and freshly ground black pepper. Millet is always best served immediately.
