Millet “Fried Rice”

Millet is a gluten free whole grain with a mild, nutty taste. It is alkalinizing, easy to digest and rich in B-vitamins and magnesium. It also makes a great alternative to white rice!

In this Millet “fried rice” recipe I suggest cooking the millet the night before and letting it sit in the fridge overnight. Allowing it to cool and dry out will give it more of a rice like texture and prevent it from becoming too mushy! Enjoy ?

Add the cooked millet, peas & carrots, tamari and parsley to the skillet and stir to combine. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until it is heated through. In a separate skillet scramble the eggs with the milk and diced green onion. Divide millet mixture evenly into serving dishes and top with scrambled egg. Garnish with freshly sliced green onion and serve warm.
