Millet on EE

[Relentless_Eating_Machine]

Hello - I have a recipe for millet porridge and I'm desperate to try it

I'm assuming that whole millet is free as it is a grain just like couscous etc does this mean that I have found myself a new FREE cereal alternative???? I could make it with skim milk/water and even stir in a yogurt at the end.....top with fruit and voila!

Could someone confirm this or burst my bubble :cry:

How was your porridge? I've never tried millet but love cous cous, bulagr wheat and quinoa...is it worth a go?

I will let you know tomorrow - planning to make it in the morning, just been to Tesco and brought it.

Anyone have any other recipes for Millet????

If you find some carole vorderman recipes - she was big on millet because it's gluten free and oats aren't.... So are millet flakes free? That's what i would have used as a porridge sub.... or does it need to be the bird seed looking millet?

Yep that about sums up my porridge - bird seed.
Not sure if I didnt cook it long enough but it was gritty and not quite as delicious as I imagined! Oh well - it was a change and free so i wont complain

I have the carol.v detox book somewhere will take a look - thanx

Perhaps I won't try it then!
