made in a Micaceous Cooking Pot
1/2 onion chopped fine
3 cloves garlic chopped to the same size as onion
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 cup millet
1/2 cup loosely chopped pecans
2 1/4 cup steaming hot water, chicken or vege broth
butter, if desired
salt, pepper
Heat water or broth liquid to steaming hot to have ready to add to millet.
Pour oil in micaceous cooking pot and cover all inside surfaces. Set on medium heat.
Add onion and saute with wooden spoon until just beginning to turn transparent.
Add garlic and saute until garlic just begins to cook.
Stir in millet. Cook, stirring often over medium heat until millet becomes golden brown and has a yummy “nutty” aroma.
Using oven mitts, carefully add steaming liquid to millet mixture, CAUTION it can burn!
Stir down to simmer and cover. Cook 20-25 minutes, or until holes appear and millet is soft.
Gently fold in pecans, butter, salt and pepper.
Cover until serving time. Millet can hold in its micaceous pot for half hour or so.
For extended time, with lid on the pot, cover with a couple of dampened dish towels.
