Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Fresh fruits for topping
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing 1 cup of millet under cold running water in a fine mesh strainer. This helps to remove any impurities and bitterness from the grains.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed millet with 4 cups of water. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the millet simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the grains are tender and have absorbed most of the water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the millet to steam and become fluffier.
- Once the millet has rested, add 1/2 cup of sourdough starter and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the sourdough starter is evenly distributed throughout the porridge.
- At this point, taste the porridge and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding more honey or maple syrup.
- To serve, spoon the millet porridge into bowls and top with fresh fruits of your choice, such as sliced bananas, berries, or diced apples. You can also drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup on top for added sweetness.
- Enjoy your warm Tartine Millet Porridge Sourdough as a nutritious and satisfying breakfast!
Tips
- Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse the millet well to eliminate any bitterness. This step is crucial for achieving a clean, pleasant flavor in your porridge.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a creamier porridge, you can add a bit more water while cooking. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure the millet is tender.
- Experiment with Sweetness: The amount of honey or maple syrup can be tailored to your taste. Feel free to start with less and gradually add more until you find your perfect sweetness level.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruits like berries, bananas, or apples add a burst of flavor, but you can also try nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra kick.
- Make it Ahead: This porridge can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat with a splash of water or milk to bring it back to life!
- Sourdough Starter: If you don’t have sourdough starter on hand, you can substitute with yogurt or kefir for a similar tangy flavor, or simply omit it for a more traditional porridge.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: This recipe is perfect for meal prepping! Make a larger batch and portion it out for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
