This cereal is much like oatmeal in taste and texture. Unlike oatmeal, which is steamed and rolled, millet requires cooking time. Because I cooked this recipe in the “slow cooker” 6 servings took 3 hours to cook. Here is the recipe:
Millet Porridge
6 (1/2 cup) servings
Combine ingredients in cooker.
2/3 cup millet
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
2 Tablespoon brown sugar
Cook cereal on low setting until liquid is absorbed.
This amount took 3 hours to cook.
