Millet Salad

Adapted from this recipe

Serves 4 (as a side)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup millet rinsed and drained
• 2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp Vecon (or any other no/reduced salt stock)
• small tin sweetcorn drained
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• handful chopped sundried tomatoes (I like Merchant Gourmet as the only ingredient is tomatoes, nothing else)
• 1 avocado peeled and diced

1. Toast the millet in a dry pan for 10 minutes, this enhances the nutty flavour.
2. Add the water and bring to the boil.
3. add the Vecon then cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
4. Transfer the millet to a bowl to cool and then add the lemon juice, sundried tomatoes, sweetcorn and olive oil.
5. Only add the avocado before serving as it will turn brown if put in too early.
