Fragrant Millet Pilaf Recipes

MIXED GRAIN PILAF

Mixed Grain Pilaf image

This medley owes its substantial texture to sturdy little grains of pearl barley, wheat berries, and millet, as well as to a hearty helping of wild rice. Fragrant garlic, onion, and assorted mushrooms contribute rousing flavors. When vegetable stock takes the place of chicken stock, the dish easily becomes vegetarian.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups thinly sliced white mushrooms (about 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup thinly sliced cremini mushrooms (about 2 ounces)
2 cups pearl barley
1 cup hard wheat berries
1 cup wild rice
1/2 cup millet
7 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil and butter in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms. Raise heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in all of the grains. Cook, stirring often, 12 minutes. Stir in stock; bring to a boil.
Cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until grains are tender, 40 to 50 minutes (check after 40 minutes, but don't remove lid before then). Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Add grains, and stir well, coating them with oil. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in stock, and bring to a boil. Cover pot, and put in oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes (check after 30 minutes; remove lid and cook a little longer if grains need to be softer). Fold in chopped herbs. Drizzle with Marsala wine. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
To reheat: Place the pilaf mixture in a buttered, ovenproof casserole. Do not fold in the herbs or add Marsala. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, bring the pilaf to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle with Marsala. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the top of the casserole, and butter it. Place the parchment on the pilaf, butter-side down. Place in the oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.

VEGETABLE BIRDSEED PILAF

Vegetable Birdseed Pilaf image

A savory vegetarian pilaf of millet and vegetables, flavored with rosemary and wine. My daughter loved that it was made with 'birdseed' and she gave it the silly title. Serve with additional fresh grated Parmesan.

MOROCCAN MILLET & ROASTED CARROT PILAF | THE FULL HELPING

Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, maple syrup, and ground cumin. Transfer the carrots to the baking sheet and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and black pepper. Transfer the carrots to the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until they're gently caramelized.
While the carrots roast, heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a medium sized pot. When the oil is shimmering, add the cumin seeds. (If you're substituting ground cumin, add it when you add the broth and other spices instead.) When the cumin seeds begin to smell fragrant and sizzle, add the onion and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the onion is soft and clear. Add the millet and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the millet smells slightly nutty. Add the vegetable broth, salt, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the millet from heat and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
While the millet cooks, whisk together the lemon garlic tahini dressing. Add water by the tablespoon as needed to achieve a consistency you like.
Fluff the millet gently with a fork, then fold in the chickpeas, roasted carrots, and lime juice. Taste the pilaf and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the pilaf over a bed of fresh arugula, if desired, and top with chopped fresh herbs, pine nuts, pomegranate seeds or molasses (or all of those). Drizzle generously with the lemon garlic tahini dressing.
