Millet GrainIt's soft, cohesive texture and quick cooking make it ideal for side dishes, stuffing, burgers and casseroles. Small amounts cooked with stews and soups provide body. Leftover cooked millet splashed with dressing easily forms the basis for a grain and vegetable salad. The grain's crunchy texture and mild flavor make it a nice change from more familiar grains. Try combining millet with quinoa, brown rice or basmati rice for interesting flavor and texture combinations.Millet flour is used in puddings, breads and cake. The flour must be freshly ground or it can impart a bitter flavor. For best results, grind in a coffee or flour mill or a blender. The flavor of the flour is mildly sweet and produces baked goods with a dry delicate crumb and a buttery smooth thin crust. In quick bread, cookie and muffin recipes, try a ratio of half millet flour and half another flour such as whole wheat or brown rice. Because millet is gluten-free, use 1/2 to 3/4 cup per loaf in yeasted recipes with flour containing gluten. Buy Online |
