Instructions

Place the millet and water in a saucepan. You use twice as much water as millet (measured by volume).
Cook for 5 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid from the pan after cooking. This allows the millet to cool down. But let it sit in the pan for a while. The millet is still absorbing moisture.
Roast the almonds in the ceramic pan or cast iron skillet. Let this cool as well.
Mix 1 tablespoon (each) of honey (or maple syrup), olive oil and orange juice through the millet. You can do that in the saucepan. If you eat fatfree use extra orange juice.
Grate the carrot. Cut the pepper and tomato into pieces. Mix everything with the millet.
Finally, mix in the arugula. Divide between two plates. Pour an extra dash of olive oil over both. Or extra orange juice for fatfree.
Top with the almonds.

Notes

If preferred you can eat the almonds raw as well (unroasted).
