Aubergine Millet
For those unfamiliar with millet, let us take a millet to introduce you. It's technically a seed, although it's far from seedy, as you're most likely to find it in the 'wholegrain' aisle of a health food store. It's brimming with B vitamins, fibre and minerals; so it's a jammy little seed to have in your life.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Toast the millet in a pot for 2-3 min, until starting to pop and slightly browned
Dissolve the stock cube(s) in 700ml (1.4L) of boiled water
Add 600ml (1.2L) of stock to the millet pot (reserve the remainder for step 4)
Bring to a boil with a lid on
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 min, or until all the water is absorbed and the millet is tender
Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high
Chop the aubergine(s) into quarters lengthwise and slice into bite size chunks
Cut the mushrooms in half and chop into 1cm pieces
Peel and slice the shallots finely and grate the zest of the lemon(s)
Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and 15g (30g) of butter to a pan on a medium-high heat
Once melted, cook the aubergine for 5 min, without turning
Add the shallot and mushroom, turn the aubergine and reduce the heat to a simmer
Add the remaining stock in batches and cook for 12-15 min
Meanwhile, chop the parsley and lemon zest together finely
This is your gremolata!
Cut the lemon(s) into quarters
Put the lemon wedges on an oven proof tray and place under the grill
Grill for 8-10 min or until caramelised
Remove and set aside for serving
Once the millet is tender, grate 3/4 of the parmesan directly into the pot
Add 15g (30g) of butter and stir well with a fork to combine
Season to your taste with salt and pepper, and set aside
Tip: Add a few tbsp of water or milk to thin out if desired
Plate up a big spoonful of millet topped with the earthy veg, season to taste with salt and pepper
Serve with the remaining lemon wedges, a big pinch of gremolata and a big drizzle of olive oil
Enjoy!
