Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet, cooked
  • 0.5 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 0.5 cup peas

  • 0.5 cup avocado, chopped

Peanut Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp tamari, soy sauce - wheat-free for gluten-free
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • Cook the millet first, by putting 1/2 a cup in 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until soft and fluffy.
  • Heat a pan to medium high, and saute the chopped pepper in a small amount of olive oil, vegetable broth or water for a few minutes. Add the peas, allowing them to thaw, than the onion and avocado.
  • Make the peanut sauce by mixing the peanut butter with the vinegar and tamari until it's smooth and thick, then stir in the toasted sesame oil and as much/little water as you want to thin for consistency.
  • Stir in the peanut sauce to the veggies, then turn off the heat and serve over the cooked millet.
  • Top it off with a few chopped bits of green onion, parsley or toasted peanuts.
