how to cook hulled millet

Aside from the nutritive value, hulled millet has a mild taste that is similar to cornmeal, which makes it a suitable choice for a hot breakfast cereal or even as an alternative to breading for meat.

Step 1

Boil 2 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan.

Step 2

Add the hulled millet and reduce the heat to medium.

Step 3

Simmer the millet, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes. It is ready when it has absorbed most of the water and is tender. Test it by removing a few grains with a spoon; if you can chew them easily but they are not mushy, your millet is ready to eat.

Step 4

Remove the millet from the saucepan with a slotted spoon, and enjoy it hot alone or with fruit or honey to taste.
