Ingredients

  1. 1 cup millet
  2. 2 cups water
  3. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  4. 1 onion, finely chopped
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, peas, etc.)
  7. Zest of 1 lemon
  8. Juice of 2 lemons
  9. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  10. Salt and black pepper to taste
  11. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and prepare the millet:
    • Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the water is absorbed.
  2. Sauté the aromatics:
    • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and aromatic.
  3. Add the vegetables:
    • Stir in the mixed vegetables, allowing them to cook until they are slightly tender but still vibrant in color. The variety of vegetables adds both texture and a spectrum of flavors to the dish.
  4. Incorporate the lemony goodness:
    • Add the lemon zest and juice to the skillet, infusing the dish with a vibrant citrus flavor. The lemon not only adds brightness but also enhances the overall freshness of the millet.
  5. Season and spice:
    • Sprinkle dried thyme, salt, and black pepper into the mixture, adjusting the seasoning to your taste preferences. The thyme complements the lemony notes, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
  6. Combine with cooked millet:
    • Once the millet is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetable and lemon mixture. Toss everything together, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  7. Garnish and serve:
    • Finish the dish by garnishing it with freshly chopped parsley, adding a burst of color and an additional layer of freshness. Serve the Zesty Lemon Millet as a delightful side dish or as a standalone, nutritious meal.
