How To Cook Millet
Report
Millet is a nutty, toothsome ancient grain. It's easy to cook on the stovetop and makes a healthy, delicious alternative to rice, pasta or other grains when you know how to fix it.

Ingredients
- 1 cup millet seed
- 2 ¼ cups water or broth or stock
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 bay leaf optional
Instructions
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add the millet and dry toast in the pan (shaking the pan regularly) for 3-4 minutes or until you start to hear little crackles in the seeds.
- Add the vegetable broth, salt and bay leaf to the pan and increase the heat to high. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is evaporated and the millet is tender.
- Remove the lid and fluff with a fork. To serve hot, add a pat of butter and toss with fresh chopped garlic and herbs of your choice.
USE COOKED MILLET IN WHOLE GRAIN SALADS:
- To use in a whole grain salad, let the cooked millet cool completely to room temperature. Then toss with other ingredients (vegetables, herbs, diced chicken or flaked tuna) and toss with a light vinaigrette.
Notes
- To use millet in a whole grain salad, let it cool to room temperature before mixing with other ingredients.
