A naturally gluten-free grain, millet has a mild, corn-like flavor that's super versatile in the kitchen. Learn the best way to steam it, then use as a base for all kinds of sweet and savory dishes, such as our Crispy Grain Salad with Peas and Mint.
Directions
-
Combine millet, 2 cups water, salt, and a drizzle of oil in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Use immediately, or spread on a rimmed baking sheet to let cool.
Cook's Notes
Adding a bit of olive oil helps the grains stay separate.
