This delicately-flavoured grain is a little like couscous, a little like rice. Pair it with spicy Middle Eastern-inspired dishes.

Ingredients

Dried currants

½ cup(s)

Butter

1 tbsp(s)

Uncooked millet

1 cup(s)

Sea salt

½ tsp(s), or more to taste

Orange zest

1 tbsp(s), from 1 large orange

Cinnamon sticks

1 average

Sliced almonds

⅓ tbsp(s), toasted

Water

2½ cup(s), boiling

Instructions

  1. Soak currants in boiling water until soft, about 10 to 20 minutes; drain.
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add millet and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes; add boiling water, salt, zest and cinnamon stick. Cover pan and cook until millet is just beginning to stick to bottom of pan, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Add almonds and currants; fluff millet with a fork. Turn heat off, cover pan and let stand on stove top for 5 minutes more. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
