Millet with stewed Apples, Raisins, Cinnamon and Cream

Posted by Muriel Hedgcock


Millet is the only grain that is alkaline. It is rich in iron and makes a healthy and delicious breakfast. Served with apples, cinnamon, raisins and cream it makes a wonderful start to the day. Millet seeds are a source of fibre which can help maintain a healthy digestive system.
My family love this breakfast as it reminds them of apple pie. So its both tasty and healthy.

Ingredients:

1 cup millet washed
1/2 tsp salt
1-2 apples peeled & chopped
1 large handful of raisins
cinnamon
1 -2 Tbsp sugar
Honey

Thick Cream



Rinse millet in sieve under running water.
Cook millet as per instructions on the packet. It normally takes 30 min to cook.
To Stew the apples:
Bring 200ml- 250ml water to the boil. Add sugar and simmer. Add raisins and cinnamon.
Peel, core and chop the apples and add to the simmering liquid. Stew for 5-10min.
Apples should be soft but not mushy.

Dish up cooked millets in 4 individual bowls.
Divide apples mixture and spoon on top.
Garnish with generous amount of cream and extra cinnamon.

Can also be served with milk and honey drizzled on top.
