Directions

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.
