Mushroom & Peas Millet Pilaf

I read many postings on millet porridge and how it is good for LO so I purchased a packet as an alternative to oatmeal or rice porridge that i will get my helper to prepare in my absence. However, since i am home, i decided to try making something with more texture and besides, i still have lots of portobello mushroom in the fridge. Hahaha


Portobello Mushroom & Peas Millet Pilaf

Ingredients
Approx 50g of millet, rinsed 
150ml of homemade chicken stock 
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
1 carrot (diced)
1 potobello mushroom (diced)
Handful of garden peas
 1 tsp olive oil

Method
Fry garlic, mushroom and carrot until softened. Add in millet and mix well.
Pour in stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until liquid is almost absorbed. Remove from heat, but keep covered for 10 more mins for the steam to cook the pilaf. Toss in the peas and mix well.

 Simulatenously, put the cod fish to steam. Assemble and a simple healthy lunch is ready !


Lil sunshine refuses to take the preloaded spoon today, opting to mash up her own millet and pick the cod and peas. Oh well, as long as she is happy and eats her lunch which she finished almost everything. :)
