Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this mouthwatering Millet Pie:

  • 1 cup millet, rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 premade pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Now, let’s get cookin’! Follow these steps to serve up some deliciousness:

  1. First things first, pop that oven on to 375°F (190°C) to get it nice and hot.
  2. In a pot, combine the rinsed millet with vegetable broth (or water) and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender.
  3. While the millet is cookin’, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and garlic, letting them sauté until they’re soft and aromatic.
  4. Add the mushrooms and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Now, stir in the chopped spinach, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Let that cook for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts down.
  6. Once the millet is ready, fold it into the skillet mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
  7. Pour the filling into the pie crust, smoothing it out nicely. Pop that pie into the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  8. When it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a bit before slicing. Serve it up warm, and enjoy every delightful bite!

This Millet Pie is not only hearty and satisfying but also a great way to bring everyone together around the table. So gather your folks, share a slice, and make some beautiful memories!
