Millet PilafThis week’s recipe features a dish made with millet, a grain I’m very fond of, but rarely think to make. It’s a good winter grain, as it feels substantial and warming. Here’s a tasty recipe from 500 Vegan Dishes (see the review here). I enjoyed it and hope you will, too. And now, here’s what the author of this recipe has to say:

Nutritionally, millet resembles wheat, providing niacin, vitamin B6, and folic acid along with some calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. If you want fluffy, grainy millet, as for this dish, it is essential to leave it alone while cooking. If you want a soft textured millet, however, keep stirring until it is cooked.
