Description

Millet is a small ancient grain, gluten-free and a great substitute for polenta (corn meal). Try this creamy vegan version in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 c millet, rinsed
  • 1 cans organic coconut milk, full fat
  • 2 c vegetable broth, bone broth or water
  • ¼ tsp seal salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the millet in a fine mesh strainer and transfer to a small pot. Toast on medium heat till excess liquid has evaporated.
  2. Add coconut milk, broth (or water) and sea salt. Bring to a boil, then down to a simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat, cover pot and set aside for 10 minutes so the grain absorbs excess liquid.
  3. Serve warm with vegetables or store for meal prep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Want a more creamy consistency? Add an additional cup of broth or water. Want even creamier, then puree with a hand immersion blender to make a smooth, creamy millet polenta.
  • Reserve leftover broth and use it when reheating the millet on the stove for meal prep. 
  • Want more creamy? Use only 2 cans of coconut milk instead and only 1 cup of broth or water.
