By The Gluten Free Goddess
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

Millet cooks up much like quinoa . The taste is a pleasant change from the usual white rice. It's more akin to brown rice in flavor and can handle any herbs and seasonings you can throw at it.

Ingredients

1 cup
whole grain millet
1/4 cup
white wine
1 3/4 cups
hot water
1/4 cup
red onion, diced
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 cup
mushrooms, sliced
1 cup
carrots, chopped
1 splash
white wine
parsley, freshly chopped

sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions

First cook the millet.
You'll need:
1 cup whole grain millet
Olive oil, as needed
1/4 cup white wine
1 and 3/4 cups hot water
In a saucepan or pot with a cover, pour a little olive oil into the bottom and set it over medium heat. Add the millet grains and using a wooden spoon stir the millet to toast a bit. After a couple of minutes add in the wine. Stir. Add in the hot water, stir and cover. Lower the heat to a low simmer. Cook the millet for about 25 minutes, till all the liquid is evaporated.

You'll need:
Olive oil, as needed
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms

When the millet is cooked, fluff with a fork and add it to the skillet mixture. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with sea salt and ground pepper, to taste.
