Time 27m

Yield Serves 6 (3 breakfasts for two people)

Number Of Ingredients 6

340g millet
1 litre unsweetened fortified almond milk, plus extra to serve
few mint leaves, to serve
90g pitted dates, finely chopped
500g frozen mixed fruit (ours was a mixed bag of berries, cherries, currants and strawberries)
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • For the compote, put the dates in a pan with 150ml water, bring to the boil and stir well so they break down. Tip in the frozen fruit and cinnamon stick and cook over a medium heat, stirring every now and then for a couple of minutes. Don't worry about fully thawing larger fruits, as they will defrost in the residual heat and retain their shape in the compote (if you have large strawberries in the mix, you can halve these as they soften). Leave to cool. Will then keep chilled for up to four days.
  • Rinse the millet in a sieve, then tip into a deep, heavy-based saucepan and pour in the almond milk and 350ml water. Put over a low heat and once bubbling, leave to simmer for 10-12 mins, stirring frequently until the millet grains are tender, but nutty.
  • Serve a third of the porridge with a third of the compote, between two people, on the first day of the Healthy Diet Plan. Add a little extra almond milk to serve with a few mint leaves scattered over. Chill the remainder for the subsequent two days. Will keep covered and chilled for up to four days. To serve on another day, reheat portions of the porridge in a pan with extra almond milk or water to loosen. Serve with the chilled compote.

MILLET PORRIDGE

Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this.

Tips:

  • Choose the right millet: For a creamier porridge, use hulled millet. For a chewier texture, use unhulled millet.
  • Rinse the millet: Before cooking, rinse the millet thoroughly with cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the millet from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring the millet to a boil: Once the millet and liquid are in the pan, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for the recommended amount of time.
  • Stir the porridge occasionally: This will help to prevent the millet from clumping together.
  • Add your desired toppings: Once the porridge is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as fresh or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices.

Conclusion:

Millet breakfast porridge is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or a special weekend brunch, millet porridge is a great option. With its nutty flavor and creamy texture, millet porridge is sure to become a family favorite.
