 1 cup millet

2 cups boiling water

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 cup pistachios, shelled

2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp fresh orange zest

            2 chives, finely chopped

In a medium saucepan, boil 2 cups of water.

Place a large saucepan on the stove top over high heat. Add millet to the dry pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly so the millet doesn’t burn. You will start to smell a wonderful toasty scent! Add 2 cups of boiling water and sea salt. Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat; set aside and cover for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork; add in yogurt, pistachios, orange juice, olive oil, orange zest and chives.

Serve warm.
