Cooking Instructions
Creamy Toasted Millet Polenta
A nutrient-dense, comforting alternative to traditional corn-based polenta.
Ingredients
130 gr. Raw millet seeds (blended into flour)
450 mil. Water
1 cube/tbsp Vegetable bouillon
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free "Fit" version)
Optional: A pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Preparation Steps
Mill the Grain: Place raw millet seeds in a high-speed blender. Process until it reaches a fine, flour-like consistency.
The "Nutty" Toast: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add the millet flour and toast for 6–7 minutes. Whisk or stir constantly to prevent burning. Stop when the flour smells fragrant and looks golden.
Prepare the Base: In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water and the bouillon to a rolling boil.
The Whisk-In: Slowly rain the toasted millet flour into the boiling water while whisking vigorously to avoid clumps.
The Slow Simmer: Reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the bottom doesn't scorch.
The Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in the Parmesan and cream. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the texture is velvety and smooth.
