Millet is a soft-textured whole grain that’s perfect for casseroles and one-pot dishes. And now, research shows that whole grains can help lower your risk for colorectal cancer. Cooking the grain and vegetables at... the same time will give you a healthy dinner or side in only 30 minutes.
Cook the millet according to package instructions, using vegetable broth instead of water for more flavor (optional).
A few minutes before the millet is done, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet.
Add mushrooms, onion, celery, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mushrooms have released their liquid.
Add cooked millet to vegetables in skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the millet seems too dry or too thick, use a little extra water or broth to thin the mixture.
Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and parsley and serve immediately.
Chef Tips
To toast pumpkin seeds, put them in small skillet over medium-high heat and stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned. Immediately transfer to small dish and cool.
