Millet; come on, has anyone, honestly got a nice recipe for this stuff??!

[fourlittlefeet]

I'm 'eating through the cupboard jars' and found a packet of it that I bought during my weaning larder frenzy. Please help.

[Kbear]

is it not for budgies?

[MaureenMLove]

Love you! I was about to say, 'hold on, I'll ask the budgie!'

I had a cod fillet coated in poppyseed and millet the other day (from M&S). T'was lovely. Not sure if I could recreate it at home, though.

[fourlittlefeet]

yes, this is exactly my problem. perhaps I should just dump it like I did the dried chick peas

[Kbear]

You could make those millet kebab shaped things and hang them on string throughout the house for the kids to pick peck on.

Sorry. Childish. Sorry.

[MaureenMLove]

ROFL!

[Kbear]

Don't dump it, what a WASTE. Think of all the starving budgies out there!

[Kbear]

Why did you buy it, may I ask?

[elliott]

Do a search and you will get some ideas. Best tip I got was to add it to mince dishes to stretch the meat - not exactly a recipe for millet as such, but it does use it up! (my kids haven't noticed so far).

[fourlittlefeet]

Good idea Eliiott. I bought it cos I thought it would make a welcome change to rice/quinoa/couscous etc. Needless to say the quinoa and couscous are still sitting right next to the millet. Just thought I'd deal with it first.

I think my hamster ate millet too. Maybe I should take it to the city farm.

[elliott]

I've done exactly the same. My kids don't even like couscous though so I haven't dared try it 'neat'.
