Millet is a grain to discover! Very nutritious, it even helps increase the level of good cholesterol in the blood. It is also non-allergenic and easy to digest.


TIP

* This pie is delicious with a brown sauce.

Freeze the pies without cooking them. Then, when cooking, place them on the bottom rack in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) without thawing because the uncooked crust would then become soggy. The cooking time is simply a little longer, but the result is a delicious pie, as if it had just been prepared!

OTHER MILLET RECIPES

* You can grind millet in a coffee grinder for an excellent hot cereal: cook 250 ml (1 cup) of water or plant-based milk substitute with 60 ml (4 tbsp ground millet) and some dried dates. This makes for an excellent nutritious lunch. Millet, a grain worth getting to know!
