One pot Millet Risotto
Ingredients
- 1 cup choice of millet, soaked for 4-6 hours
- ½ cup sliced vegetables of choice (such as zucchini, red peppers, carrot, etc.)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1½ cups pureed/diced tomatoes
- 1 cup almond milk (or any other non-dairy milk)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast (provides the cheesy/creamy taste)
- ½ tbsp miso, mixed with ½ tbsp water
- ¼ – ½ tsp unrefined salt, to taste
Method
Place soaked millets in a medium-sized pot with a lid, on high heat. Add basil and oregano and stir well, until the millet is coated with the herbs. Now add in the minced garlic and reduce heat to low-medium. Cook for 1 minute and add in the tomatoes, vegetables, non-dairy milk, water, nutritional yeast, miso and salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil. Cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook, covered (with a slight gap for air to escape) for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so. Be careful to not burn the millet at the bottom of the pot. The mixture should be creamy, but not soupy and the millet should be very chewy and not mushy. Serve immediately.
