A More Interesting Way To Eat Millet.




Basically Millet does not have a special taste which could improve when made with some kind of stock or greens like Millet with Cilantro. This time I thought of...
cutting up some veggies into the boiling water where I would throw in the Millet to cook.

Ingredients to use for two cups of Millet.
  • 2 raw beets, pealed and washed.
  • 2 carrots pealed and cubed very small.
  • 2 sweet red peppers cubed very small.
  • 2 hot green peppers cubed very small.
  • 4 cups of cold water.
  • 2 cups of Millet.
  • Add some pepper to taste. No salt.
Method:
  • Measure the 2 cups of Millet and set aside.
  • Add 4 cups of cold water in a sauce pan.
  • Add all the veggies to the cold water, cover and let boil.
  • When water boils, wait about 2 minutes, then add the Millet.
  • Cover and reduce heat to minimum.
  • Set your timer to 15 minutes.
  • When time is up, turn off the heat. Do not open the cover.
  • At serving time, use a bund cake mold to mold your Millet by pressing it with a serving spoon.
  • Over turn on a nice platter and serve.
  • Cut as you would a cake.
The outcome is a reddish color with the pieces of veggies in it. It was quite nice actually.

Hope you make it.

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup. There is special wooden utensil the Sudanese use. Ingredients: - 1 kg bamia Lady's fingers or Okra. - 1 kg beef or lamb bone free. - 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes cut in quarters. - 1 big onion roughly cut. - 6 cloves of garlic finely cut. - ...
