I should have used couscous

I went to a celebration where we each had to bring some vegetarian food to share and I thought I would make a nice couscous… but for some reason decided millet might be nice for a change.

I gently fried some onions and leeks until they were nice and sweet, ditto some baby tomatoes, then diced some dried apricots and preserved lemons, found some toasted  sesame seeds, some golden sultanas, some raw baby tomatoes, a chopped apple… and then I soaked the millet for the required ten minutes before cooking it for the twenty suggested on the packet… and then another twenty minutes… and then another ten minutes… I stirred in some olive oil and sweet chilli sauce and added all the prepared vegetables and fruit…

Porridge anyone?

      It actually did, it was the texture that was odd… maybe making it into little balls and rolling them in sesame seeds and putting them in lettuce cups as you suggest… great idea!

      Thank you for reminding me! I love quinoa… I just forget that I do! It has such a wonderful flavour and texture… next time I will definitely go with it… and before I have to make a sharing meal, I’ll have it here at home!! Thanks, Jody!
