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.

millet cooking tips:

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.

Can you make ahead?

Fridge: Millet: After grits cools off, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.

Mushrooms: After mushrooms cools off, place in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days max.

Reheating: Millet: Bring a small amount of water or milk to a boil and stir in grits, cook until hot. *A 1/4 cup of liquid will be enough for 2 servings.

Mushrooms: Turn on heat to medium, add all ingredients in a small or medium sauce pan, cook until mixture is hot. About 10 minutes or less. *Depends on how much you’re reheating.
