Why Millet?

Millet is a powerhouse grain! Gluten-free and rich in iron, magnesium, and silicon, it’s fantastic for healthy skin, hair, and nails. Its mild, nutty flavor makes it a perfect ingredient for sweet and savory dishes. When paired with raspberries, millet transforms into a dessert that’s sure to win over everyone at your table.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

• For the Millet Dumplings:
  • 3/4 cup (120 g) millet
  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 2 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 2 tbsp sugar (or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) ground almonds
  • Pinch of salt
• For the Warm Raspberries:
  • 1 1/2 cups (12 oz/340 g) raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
• For Baking:
  • Butter for greasing the dish
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Millet:
   In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Add the millet and a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk is fully absorbed (about 20 minutes). Allow to cool.
2. Make the Dumpling Mixture:
   Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in the eggs. Fold in the cooled millet and ground almonds until well combined.
3. Shape the Dumplings:
   Using two tablespoons, shape the mixture into small dumplings and place them in a greased baking dish.
4. Bake:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dumplings for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
5. Prepare the Warm Raspberries:
   While the dumplings are baking, heat the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until the raspberries break down and a sauce forms.
6. Serve:
   Dust the baked dumplings with powdered sugar and serve with a generous helping of warm raspberries. For an extra indulgent touch, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
