Steps:
- Rinse millet a few times with tap water and drain.
- Add water to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil.
- Slowly add millet to the pot.
- Continue cooking until the water returns to a boil. Turn to low heat. Use a ladle to skim the foam from the surface, so the porridge won't spill during cooking.
- Cook while keeping the porridge boiling, but not too fiercely, for 30 minutes. Stir the porridge several times after 20 minutes, so the millet won't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- If you want a thicker porridge, keep cooking after 30 minutes are up, and stir the porridge constantly as it thickens, about 10 minutes.
- The porridge is ready when the millet is tender but still keeps its shape.

MILLET AND VEGETABLE SOUP RECIPE
Steps:
- Warm the olive oil over medium heat in a soup pot. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrots, and leek, and cook 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Add the turnip, sweet potato, bay leaf, thyme, stock and water, and two pinches of sea salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and cook 15 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the millet to the pan and toast for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the millet is golden and gives off a nutty fragrance.
- Add the millet to the soup and cook an additional 20 minutes, until the millet and vegetables are tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme branches. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve, garnished with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Variations: Add a couple of cups of chopped plum tomatoes (fresh or canned) for a heartier broth and a bit more body. You can also substitute chicken stock for the vegetable stock. Add chopped green beans or kale in the last 10 minutes of cooking. If you prefer spinach, add it just before serving; it only takes a minute to steam down into the soup. For added protein, add a can of drained white beans or chickpeas, or 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken for meat eaters.

MILLET CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP
Taken from "Great Grains," and originally titled "Millet Vegetable Soup," this has become one of my favorites. Added chicken, jalapeno and red pepper put it over the top for me, but it can be made sans chicken, and with vegetable stock, and with milder spices. Excellent on a chilly day with a hunk of homemade French Bread. Use fresh spices if available, but increase amounts.
