Ingredients
1 small onion
4 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup millet
1 sea salt to taste
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 small leek
1 small zucchini
1 cup mushrooms
1 freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
Chop the onion. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a saucepan and add the
onion. Saute for about 3 minutes until tender by 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 heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
Place the almonds under the grill (broiler) and toast until lightly
browned, turning frequently. Set aside.
Chop the leek and zuchinni finely. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons
oil in a frying pan (skillet) or wok and add the vegetables. Stir-fry
for about 3 minutes.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and add them to the leek and zucchini.
Stir fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
When the millet is tender and the water is absorbed, stir in the
vegetables, pepper to taste, and the cinnamon. Cook for a couple of
minutes longer, stirring then remove from heat, and stir in almonds.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into distant history, at least as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have two recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the period. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Millet Pilaf recipe.
