You rinse the millet seeds and cook them in liquid in proportions of 3 parts liquid to 1 part millet. They cook up into a slightly firm mash reminiscent of cream of wheat in texture but more flavorful and with a slightly yellowish tinge. We like cooked millet with anything saucy like stew, chili, or chicken with chicken gravy. It tastes good with just butter and a bit of salt too. We also mix cooked millet with cooked sweet potato for another delicious mash. It is a staple for us because we cannot eat regular potatoes on our naturopathic diet.
