Try this easy millet recipe.  7 oz millet 24 oz boiling water In a medium-large nonstick pot, weigh dry millet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the grains make a popping sound. They will also give off a toasty aroma. Remove pot from the heat and set it on a heat-proof surface. Continue to stir for a minute or two to keep the millet from burning. Add 24 oz of boiling water and stir. Put the pot back on the burner and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and fluff the millet gently with a fork.
