“Sweet Millet Porridge
Developed by Sara Quessenberry for Cleveland Clinic Wellness

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
1/2 cup hulled millet
3 cups water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
One-quarter cup sliced almonds
12 fresh strawberries, sliced
One-half cup fresh blueberries
Pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions: Put the millet in a fine strainer and rinse. In a medium saucepan, stir together the millet, water, and vanilla over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the millet is very tender and creamy, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Add more water if you want the porridge a little thinner.

In a small skillet, toast the almonds over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Divide the porridge among bowls and top with the strawberries, blueberries, almonds, and cinnamon.
