Mediterranean Millet cous Cous
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups millet, dry
- 12 cup chia seeds (optional)
- 2 large zucchini, diced
- 1 large cucumber, diced
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 12 cup dried apricot, chopped
- 12 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1 -2 cup basil, finely chopped
- 1 cup of fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 12 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 cup fresh lemon juice
- Soak millet overnight, rinse well before using!
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring water to boil and add in millet.
- Simmer 15-20mins.
- Strain and let cool in large bowl.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Season with more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste.
- Stir in millet, mixture can be served warm or cold.
- Serve over mixed greens and garnish with avocado slices for dinner.
- Or for lunch, add 1/2 an avocado on top.
- Keeps well in fridge -- I usually make a big batch, and use later during the week for lettuce wraps for lunch, or a quick dinner back up!
- Kids like the "sushi" that I make using this mixture and carrot sticks.
