Mediterranean Millet "cous Cous"

"Adapted from Kim Snyder, celebrity nutritionist (Fergie, Drew Barrymore..A List stars) in her book "The Beauty Detox Solution". This is a wonderful dish, which can be used to top your dinner salad, or by itself for lunch by adding 1/2 a sliced avocado. I added a few extra ingredients, and this is my favorite combo... If you are experiencing inflammatory conditions, omit tomatoes. Add in any extra veggies/herbs you have on hand for more bulk and color: colored peppers, finely chopped fresh cilantro, etc..."

directions

  • Soak millet overnight, rinse well before using!
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring water to boil and add in millet. Simmer 15-20mins. Strain and let cool in large bowl.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Season with more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Stir in millet, mixture can be served warm or cold. Serve over mixed greens and garnish with avocado slices for dinner. Or for lunch, add 1/2 an avocado on top. Keeps well in fridge -- I usually make a big batch, and use later during the week for lettuce wraps for lunch, or a quick dinner back up! Kids like the "sushi" that I make using this mixture and carrot sticks.
