Millet with Red Swiss Chard Leaves and Carrots

November 28, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 carrots, chopped
* 1 bunch red swiss chard leaves, chopped (use also the stems)
* 1 cup millet
* 2 cups vegetable stock (don’t put too much water, as the chard will leave its juice)
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 Tbl. olive oil

Directions:

In a medium pot, heat the olive oil. Saute the onion. Add
the carrots and saute. Add the swiss chard. When the chard
starts to leave some of its juice (after 1-2 min.), add the
millet, the stock, the salt and the pepper. Bring to boil.
As soon as it starts boiling, cover and cook for 10-15 min.

P.S. You can substitute the millet with quinoa. It’s really good.

Serves: 2 - 3

Preparation time: 15 min
