HOW TO COOK MILLET

Heat a deep skillet on high heat. Add 1 cup of dried millet and toast 3-4 minutes until golden, being careful not to let it burn and lowering the heat if necessary. Add 2 cups boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cook 20-25 minutes until liquid absorbed and fluff with a fork.
