Just WOW and what a surprise! We had all this extra millet on hand and 10 people for dinner so we figured, why not? We could not imagine what peanuts in millet would be like. But it was incredibly. The nuts added a subtle nutty flavor but too strong. Really what they did was break up the millet and make it fluffier. We could not find a plantain so we skipped it but will do this again with it just to see how it turns out. Also, we found a jar of marinated mushrooms at Trader Joes and used those for the mushrooms of our choice and then did not add additional seasoning. When we set it up on the stove we wondered what it would be like and in the end, it was fabulous. Would definately make this again
