“Hannah, isn’t millet for birds?” you say.
Well, so I thought until a couple of months ago when I realised I can actually buy it in my regular supermarket! I did some Googling and found some recipes but none felt authentic. So I decided to make my own favourite combo lots of onion, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Mmmmmm…
Enjoy!
