Super yummy! Satisfied my craving for greens. I substituted barley for millet because I couldn't find millet! Anyway, it worked out great, but took about twice the cooking time. -
Wow! We really, really like this recipe. It was easy to follow and the textures and flavors of the dish are wonderful. All of the ingredients really melded well here, and I wouldn't leave any of them out. A little sprinkling of soy sauce on top is really nice too. -
Thanks for a brand new way to use millet! This makes a huge amount of food - I'm getting much more than 4 servings out of this.I will say I left out the vinegar, because I hate tangy greens. It can easily be subbed for white wine - or whatever else happens to be handy. I see this as another good "refrigerator purge" recipe, and would taste great with any number of veggies subbed in. The cilantro is a great touch. Hope more people try this, as of right now it seems like they're missing out!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
