Millet Vegetable Pilaf

Ingredients

• 1 cup millet
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 medium carrot
• 1 medium potato
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 1 cup millet in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear; drain well.

2. 2

   Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the 2 diced carrots and 1 diced potato, and the 1 tsp ground cumin. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the drained millet and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables, toasting for 2 minutes until it smells nutty.

5. 5

   Pour in the 2 cups vegetable broth and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender, about 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
