Jessy's Most Awesome Mexi-Millet....
I know I promised summer meals! But it's cold.....and not summery at all here so I'm going to interrupt with this short post to tell you that you absolutely must make Jessy's Spicy Mexi-Millet! Bossy aren't I? But it is seriously fantabulous (yes, I still like to make up words)!!! I made a couple of small changes.
*I put in slightly less than half a cup of beans because I don't think I could handle that many.
*I used a red onion because I read the recipe wrong, bought yellow capsicum as well as green and didn't have any yellow.
*I went with the Red Kidney Bean option because that's what was in the freezer.
*I left out the Chilli Powder
*I only used 1/2 tsp Cumin, 1/8 tsp Onion Powder and 1/8 tsp Garlic Powder.
*I only used 1 clove fresh Garlic
*I added about 2 1/2 cups finely chopped English Spinach
And at the end I served it with Pita Crisps (home made) seasoned with salt and pepper, some extra capsicum, onion and tomato salsa and a dollop of Guacamole and sour cream (cashew, not pictured).
YUM!!!
Plus yay! Thank you Jessy for showing me that millet can be yummy! And not mushy! Every time I've ever cooked millet in the past, it has been a big ball of mush in the bottom of the pan. This was perfect and very much like couscous. Definitely a new favourite!
Double yay, it's gluten free if you use corn tortilla's for the crisps!

WOW! That looks gorgeous! I am in the mood for some good Mexican food right now. Lovely photo!
That looks delicious! I love Jessy's recipes, they always come out great.
Great pic! I <3 millet and eat millet puffs for breakfast almost every day!
I won't be complaining about cold-weather foods. This looks great. Thanks for passing the recipe along.
Mexican is one of my favouritist foods (and yes, I make up words too!). This looks really good.. I may just have to try it
you are too awesome to try out one of our recipes! squeeeeeeeee! we're so happyfaced you liked it & thank you so much for the awesome shout-out & kind words!
i love your substitutions and additions! the recipe was pretty much a mix of what we had on hand, and that's so cool that you did the same. you fo 'sho captured what the recipe was all about! w00t!
i've had mushy amaranth before and it made me so sadfaced, so i'm glad the millet cooked up mush-free!
looks delicious - I have also had the ball of millet mush every time I have cooked it - this looks great for warm or cool weather
we too are having lots of cool weather - the rain is great but it doesn't feel like we are getting much sunshine - just enough for the weeds :-)
Voracious Vegan, thanks! And mmm I'm ALWAYS in the mood for mexican. The Mr was laughing at me because I've had it twice this week already!
Keirsten, thanks and mmm they do!!
Jess, thank you! I didn't like millet until I ate this. I definitely have an addiction now!
Andrea, lol, I'm complaining because it's summer in a month...well meant to be anyway!
ABB, glad I'm not alone being a word maker upperer (see? can't help myself!) and you definitely should! It's wonderful!
Jessy! You are too awesome for coming up with it. It's TOO yummy!! And I've had amaranth twice. Once it was puffed and tasted somewhat like plastic and the 2nd time it was such a weird texture I've been too scared to make it again! It sort of popped in my mouth or something and was gluggy :(
Johanna, I'm glad and sad that I'm not the only one who's cooked a millet mush ball before! And lol, yes, it's the same here. The poor turtle hasn't been out the back yard all school holidays!
i've never cooked millet! yum!
I am suddenly starving. Yum!
That looks wonderful. I will have to try it.
Nom nom nom nom. Mexican is always appropriate - no matter the weather. ;)
Looks great, millet is not normally something that I try to make at all.
I've only ever had mushy millet too so have since stayed away from it! I'll save this recipe though - looks delicious!
looks great! I've never made millet before, but yours looks so good I want to try it now.
Miss V, oh you have to! When it works, it's delicious!
Andrea, lol, one of the perils of food blog reading, happens to me a lot!
BrisVegan, thanks! And yes, do!
Susan, this is true! I adore Mexican!
Kristy, I have foods like that too and millet was one of them (but not any more).
Ashley, I hope it gets you over your mushy millet slump too! I'm so glad I tried it!
Rita, oh I hope you do try it! You'll love it! And thank you!
Looks great and millets are such power packed nutrients afterall!
I'm also a fan of millet, but I just don't make it enough. This dish would be another good excuse to pull it out again! Thanks for sharing. :)
I need millet help. This might be just the thing. Looks great.
Anushruti, thanks! And they are which is always a good thing!
Hannah, me either :(
Tami, I hope it's the millet help you need! It was the millet help I needed!
This does look delicious! Thanks for the recipe. Anything with guacamole is for me!
Fresh, thank you and me too!
That looks delicious! I love Mexican food and millet. I will try it!
