What a surprise this was!!! I'd never had millet before and this was good. I found it a bit bland but after I added some hot sauce, salsa, cilantro and a banana it was terrific. Lots of possibilites to alter this recipe. Glad you posted it and glad I tried it. Thanks

As an ethical vegan, I'm always on the lookout for tasty, cruelty-free meals. I work in the medical field, but my heart lies with anything and everything relating to animal welfare. I share my home with two each furry (cats) and feathered friends. Something I'd like to encourage all chefs is, don't be afraid to experiment! I'm not always really specific about measurements, and that's because I go by feel, so if you want to add a little more or a little less -by all means!
