How to Make Mushroom Millet Pilaf

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of sliced cremini mushrooms and 1/2 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly browned.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of millet and 1/2 cup of chopped onion. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender.
  6. Fluff the pilaf with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional). Serve hot as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
