Millet Porridge

Description: Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup millet
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup skim milk or 1/2 cup soymilk
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons raisins (or more, to taste)
• honey or other artificial sweetener, to taste

Steps:

1. In a small saucepan, combine millet, water, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and raisins.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes without stirring.
4. If the liquid is not completely absorbed, cook for 3-5 minutes longer, partially covered.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
7. Serve.
