- 1 onion finely diced
- 1 garlic clove minced (optional)
- 2 handfuls of millet
- 500g vegetables of your choice- i used eggplant, pumpkin, mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini
- 400g cooked beans (i used adzuki and have used cannelini)
In a saucepan place a splash of oil then add the first 9 ingredients in the list. Simmer for 10 minutes or so then add the vegetables, if needed add some filtered water. Cook until the vegetables are soft or to your liking. Next add the beans and voila there you go there you have it a lovely stew with plenty of flavour.
