Millet porridge with honey and nuts

Millet porridge with honey and nuts is a warm, nutritious, and comforting breakfast that's easy to prepare. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup millet
• 2 1/2 cups water or milk (or a mix of both for creaminess)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Fresh fruit or dried fruit for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Millet:

   • Rinse the millet under cold water to remove any dust or impurities.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the millet, water or milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Cook the Porridge:

   • Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the millet is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.

3. Finish the Porridge:

   • When the millet is cooked, remove it from the heat. Stir in the honey and ground cinnamon (if using). You can also add vanilla extract at this stage if you like.
   • Let the porridge sit for a few minutes to thicken further.

4. Prepare the Nuts:

   • While the porridge is resting, toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Be sure to stir them frequently to prevent burning.

5. Serve:

   • Spoon the millet porridge into bowls.
   • Top with the toasted nuts and any additional toppings you like, such as fresh fruit or dried fruit.

This millet porridge is hearty and versatile, so feel free to adjust the sweetness and toppings to your taste. Enjoy your warm and satisfying breakfast!
