Ingredients
- • hulled millet: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • apple, diced: 1 large
- • walnuts, chopped: 1/2 cup
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • green onions, sliced: 2
- • nutritional yeast: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Rinse the millet under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the millet is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 2 While the millet is cooking, prepare the spiced apple and walnut crumble. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced apple and chopped walnuts for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft and the walnuts are toasted.
- 3 Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and maple syrup to the apple mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 4 Once the millet is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the nutritional yeast and sliced green onions for a savory boost. Adjust salt to taste if needed.
- 5 To serve, divide the millet into bowls and top with the spiced apple and walnut crumble. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory breakfast millet pairs beautifully with a side of sautéed leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, for an extra nutrient boost. Consider serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of almond milk to enhance the creamy texture. Complement this wholesome dish with a refreshing herbal tea or a freshly squeezed orange juice for a balanced, energizing start to your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to restore the creamy consistency. The crumble can be stored separately to maintain its crisp texture.
