Millet with Mixed Vegetables
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Millet is an excellent source of fiber and minerals such as iron, which helps support blood formation, and phosphorus, which helps keep teeth and bones strong.
If you don't have millet, quinoa or bulgur are great substitues. You can also easily use brown rice.
Preparation steps
Place millet in a bowl and cover with boiling broth. Let stand 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Rinse, trim and slice carrots diagonally. Rinse and trim celery. Remove leaves and cut stalks into large pieces. Soak raisins in a little water.
Heat oil in a frying pan and cook carrots and celery pieces until translucent. Squeeze raisins to remove water.
In a nonstick skillet, melt butter. Add millet and sauté, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Mix in vegetables, raisins and peanuts. Season with salt and pepper.
