Before You Start
Measure the millet and water, and set the cherries, cinnamon, and maple within reach so nothing sits and scorches while you look for it.
How To Make It
- Add the millet and water to a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium high, about 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface just starts to bubble at the edges.
- Turn the heat to medium low and cook, stirring now and then so it does not catch, 5 to 8 minutes, until it looks soft and creamy rather than watery.
- Stir in the cinnamon off the heat so it blooms without turning bitter.
- Spoon into a bowl and top with the tart cherries.
- Finish with a small drizzle of maple and serve warm.
Fix It: If it turns stiff and gluey, loosen it with a splash of hot water and stir; millet keeps drinking up liquid as it sits.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
