Millet Grits with Rosemary Garlic Mushrooms
Millet is an ancient grain with origins in China. Since the vegan/plant based diet boom, millet has been getting a lot of attention. Don’t let the size of this small grain fool you, it’s packed with rich minerals and vitamins like calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and Vitamins B6, C, E, and K.
It’s also high in protein, fiber, antioxidants and is gluten free.

Total Time
30 mins
Tips for success: Millet should have a slightly al dente bite when finished. Feel free to use any mushroom you like, baby bellas would work perfect. For the white wine, any wine you would drink you can use. If you cannot find cashew creamy, any plain non-dairy yogurt will work. If you cannot find non-dairy yogurt, non-dairy cream will work. I would recommend not using coconut cream because it will add a sweet component to your savory meal.
