Creamy Millet

Creamy Millet

Ingredients:
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1 cup water
1 cup millet, rinsed well
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon allspice
¾ cup almond milk (or substitute soy or rice milk)
¼ teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon unrefined virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions:
Blueberry Compote, Dried Fruit Compote, or Seasonal Stewed Fruit, for
serving
2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds, for serving
Bring the orange juice and water to a boil in a small saucepan, then stir in the millet,
salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and allspice. Once it returns to a gentle boil, lower
the heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
Pour in the almond milk and stir until incorporated, breaking up any clumps in the
millet; the millet should be soft and have the consistency of oatmeal. Stir in the orange
zest, coconut oil, and maple syrup.
Serve topped with the blueberry compote and almonds.
Variation: Add ½ cup dried cranberries and ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
to the cooked millet.
