Title: Millet-Peach Pudding Categories: Desserts Yield: 2 Servings 1/2 c Whole millet, rinsed 2 c Water 1/4 ts Salt 1 Ripe peach or 1 - 2 ripe -nectarines, pureed 1/4 ts To 1/2 ts ground cinnamon 1/8 ts Ground cloves 1 tb To 2 tb almond oil 1/4 ts Pure almond extract 3 tb Chopped, toasted almonds, -optional 1/2 Ripe peach or 1 nectarine, -diced Servings: 2 This combination makes a fragrant, satisfying end product. If you forget the overnight soak you can still make the recipe (see note). Directions: Soak the millet in 2 c water overnight. Without draining, bring the millet, water, and salt to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the pudding simmer about 25 min until tender. Remove the pot from heat and add the fruit, spices, oil and extract. Beat hard for a few strokes. Gently stir in the diced fruit. Divide into two bowls and top them with chopped almonds. Note: If you want to make this pudding but forgot to soak the millet overnight, simmer it 35 min over very low heat. Remove from the stove, fluff with a fork and cover for 10 more min. Millet or any grain, however, is more digestible when soaked or slow-cooked for hours.
