Millet is a grain seed that you probably know most commonly from bird food. It’s also a nutritious whole grain with loads of B-vitamins that has been becoming more and more popular in whole-grain cooking.
This week I made Millet Fried “Rice” from Super Natural Cooking. This was my first time cooking/eating millet and I loved it. It has a nutty taste, almost earthy but not too earthy. Just the right level of earth.
The stir-fry is made like regular fried rice. The grain is pre-cooked, you cook the egg and tofu cubes, chop the veggies and throw everything together. I’m excited about using millet in more recipes. everybody loves sandwiches recently posted about using millet in granola which I’m making the next time I need granola.
You can find the recipe for Millet Fried “Rice” HERE. Enjoy! It’s wonderful.
This looks great! I have used millet a couple times and really like it.
I finally made the quinoa-almond muffins you posted about a little while ago from Veganomicon. Wonderful~! Thanks for sharing
This sounds great! I love fried rice, so I expect that I would love fried “rice” equally well. I have not used millet before and am eager to give it a try!
You really need to get yourself a great canoli! A good, fresh, crisp one – I’m on a quest myself to seek one out in my city.
Thanks for your comment.
Hmmm… millet! That sounds awesome! I just discovered the wonders of quinoa, so I’d love to try this as well!
Looks great to me! I see you joined Sweet Melissas Sundays..so did I. I think it’s going to be a fun group!
Yum!!
I love millet- it’s actually a staple grain in my house… but I’ve just never thought to use it in a stir-fry before. Thanks for the idea!
This is my kind of meal! It looks so good!
I have never tried millet, but you make it look so delicious. I will give this a try!
I love the colour of this dish!
Fried rice is only of my favorite quick meals – yours looks fabulous! I’ve never used millet before, so I’ll have to check it out!
Wow, I have never even heard of this stuff. Your dish looks super yum.
Millet fried rice sounds fabulous! I made something similar with quinoa the other night. I love using whole grains in place of regular old rice. How delicious!
