Millet is another high-protein ingrain that will pressure cook in a flash to tender paragon. The meek, finely nutty and lightly sweet-tasting millet can replace rice, couscous or quinoa in any recipe. I was inspired by amerind cumin spiced rice, Jeera, to make this recipe. just like this recipe ’ second rice-based inspiration, this millet pilaf is a big company to a rich vegetable or kernel smasher .I ’ ve besides made millet plain with a roasted garlic clove with some vegetable stock, and then served with a good dip of fresh olive oil – the kids seriously thought it was couscous !
Millet vs. Quinoa
Millet and quinoa are both seeds that can be used as grains – and they have a very similar low-carb and high-protein profile. however, unlike quinoa, you don ’ t have to rinse the millet before cooking it but you might want to, anyhow .

Miracle Grain?
I stumbled across this millet promotional video recording during my research. Although it very directly critiques India ’ s distribution arrangement to the poor people it is full of data about millet ’ s cultural, culinary, and ecological role in Southern India. For the stat-o-philes there are besides charts and graph that compare millet ’ second nutrition ( and cultivation ) to rice and wheat. It ’ s worth a peek, if you have the time.
