Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet
  • 1 tbsp pastured butter or coconut oil
  • 2 cups coconut cream organic, canned
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp pastured butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup stawberries quartered
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tbsp monkfruit sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh tarragon or mint for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Blend millet in a high-grade blender (I used my Vitamix) until the seeds are a fine, flour-like texture. Essentially, blend the millet until is is completely smooth.
  • Take one tablespoon of pastured butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option) and place in a medium pot over medium heat. Melt the butter or oil completely.
  • Once the pot is coated, pour in blended millet and stir.
  • Add in coconut cream and water. Stir until it is completely blended. You may need to use a whisk to get out all clumps.
  • Continue to stir until the mixture starts to bubble.
  • Turn the heat down to low, stirring continuously, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Continue to stir until you get the desired thickness. The longer you cook the millet, the thicker it will get. I like my porridge to be creamy and thick, but not too dense.
  • Remove from heat and place a lid on top to keep the millet hot.
  • Chop pecans and quarter strawberries.
  • In a small saucepan, heat two tablespoons butter (or coconut oil) over medium-high heat. Add pecans and toast for two minutes.
  • Stir and add in strawberries for another 2 minutes.
  • Add spices and monkfruit sugar into the strawberry mixture and stir until completely blended.
  • Chop fresh tarragon or mint and set to the side.
  • Remove strawberry mixture from the heat.
  • Plate the millet into individual bowls. Pour the strawberry and pecan mixture over each millet serving.
  • Garnish with fresh tarragon or mint. Enjoy!
