Cooking notes

​

Millet is a richer cereal when cooked with vegetables. It is important that it is fluffy, so when you are cooking it watch and add a little more water if it is getting too dry. Once cold, it compacts and binds, making it ideal for making croquettes, cakes or for stuffing vegetables.

​

You can use other vegetables to make your millet cake. You may try with finely chopped onions and carrots, or onions and pumpkin, or leeks and shiitake mushrooms.

Nutritional & Energetic Notes

​

Millet is a gluten-free cereal that supports the digestive system, gives a lot of energy and warms the body. Millet is an ideal cereal to nourish the spleen and also the nervous system. Highly digestive, it does not contain gluten, which makes it ideal for people with celiac disease or those with gluten intolerance.

​

If the cauliflower causes gas, it can be blanched before adding to the millet.
