Suggest a better description* to cook millet, use 2 1/2 cups water per 1 cup dry millet. It does not usually need prewashing. Cook 40-55 minutes and use as a substitute for rice in rice dishes. This is one of the best grains, high in vitamins and very alkaline. Mix cooked millet, hazelnut flour (or ground nuts) and arrowroot powder (or substitute flours) together. Heat the oil and saute the onions, brocolli and carrots until semi-tender. Add the other vegetables and saute another 1-2 minutes more. Break up the bouillon cubes in the stir fry and mix them well with everything else. Remove the saute from heat and mix it well with the millet-flour mixture. Roll it into balls, using 1/8 - 1/4 cup for each ball. Bake the balls at 400F for 18-22 minutes until hot and toasted for a wonderful flavour. Serve with Arrowroot sauce, Mushroom Gravy, Vegetarian Gravy or Toasted Cashew or Sesame Sauce. Incredibly delicious! The 1/8 cup balls may be stir fried in a lightly oiled frying pan and served as "meat balls" with spaghetti and tomato sauce or they may be eaten plain or serve as suggested above. Cold leftover balls keep 4-6 days refrigerated. They are terrific for lunches and snacks ~ a wonderful protein and vitamin lift.
