ОглавлениеIMPERIAL/METRIC | AMERICAN | |
1 small | onion | 1 small |
4 tsp | vegetable oil | 4 tsp |
2 oz (55g) | millet | ¼ cup |
sea salt to taste | ||
¼ pint (140ml) | water | 2/3 cup |
2 oz (55g) | flaked (slivered) almonds | ½ cup |
1 small | leek | 1 small |
1 small | courgette (zucchini) | 1 small |
2 oz (55g) | mushrooms | 1 cup |

¼ tsp | ground cinnamon | ¼ tsp |
1 Chop the onion. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion for about 3 minutes until tender but not brown. Add the millet and cook for another 2 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle in the salt and pour in the water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
2 Place the almonds under the grill (broiler) and toast until lightly browned, turning frequently. Set aside.
3 Chop the leek and courgette (zucchini) finely. Heat the remaining 2 tsp of oil in a frying pan (skillet) or wok and stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 minutes.
4 Slice the mushrooms thinly and add them to the leek and courgette (zucchini). Stir-fry for a further 2–3 minutes.
5 When the millet is tender and the water absorbed, stir in the vegetables, cinnamon and pepper to taste. Cook for a couple of minutes longer, stirring, then remove from the heat, and stir in the almonds.
