For written instructions, see the original post: Spiced Millet with Tamari Almonds

Start with 1/2 cup millet. Millet is a wonderful whole grain you can find in natural foods stores.

Rinse your millet in a fine-mesh strainer. Millet is a very small grain, so I double up on my strainers to make sure I don’t lose any grains when I rinse!

Combine your rinsed millet with 1 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat.

When the mixture comes to a boil, turn down the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook on low for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the millet has absorbed all the water.

When the millet is done, fluff it with a fork (scrape the fork across the top of the grains). Transfer to a serving dish.

Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt to taste, and about 2 tablespoons chopped tamari almonds. You can buy prepared tamari almonds in the bulk section or in the nuts/snacks section of your health food store. Alternatively, you can use raw or plain toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds! All are scrumptious in this dish.
