Ingredients
- ½ cup millet
- ½ teaspoons sumac
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup water + extra if needed
- 2 dried fig
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ teaspoons fennel seeds preferably grind yourself
- 2 pinches celtic sea salt or to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the millet under the tap. I do this in a sieve.
- Boil the millet gently for 10 minutes in the water and orange juice. Stir occasionally.
- Grind the fennel seeds if you use whole seeds (preferred, more taste!).
- Turn the heat down low. Cut the figs into pieces. Add the pumpkin spices, the ground fennel seeds and the salt to the millet.
- Mix everything together with the immersion blender. This way, the sweetness of the figs will be nicely absorbed by the porridge. Most of the millet grains can remain whole.
- Now determine how thick you want the porridge to be by stirring extra water through the millet.
- Pour into a plate. If desired, garnish with some orange slices, fig and sprinkle some sumac over it.

Notes
- If you can find sumac, just leave it out.
