Millet with vegetables

Method

1. In a large bowl, soak the millet in water for at least 4 hours. Drain and rinse before using.
2. In a pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the green beans, green peas, and carrots. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Add 200 ml of water to the pan and bring it to a boil.
4. Rinse the soaked millet and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
5. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the millet is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. If desired, add the optional spices (paprika, cumin, garlic powder) and a little more boiled water if the mixture seems dry. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
7. Cover the pan again and cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve the millet and vegetable medley as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy your meal!
10. Note: Feel free to adjust the seasoning and spices according to your taste preferences. You can also add other vegetables or herbs for additional flavor variations.
