Introduction
Ok, I know it doesnโt look like much. But this really is delicious and a truly wonderful change-of-pace meal. Millet is like rice, where it can take some time for it to absorb liquid and soften. So this does take a little bit of time, even though it isnโt very much effort.
This recipe was my first experience with millet, which is a cereal grain (i.e., crazy nutritious!). You may or may not find millet at your local grocery store, but itโs easy enough to order online (plus itโs really cheap!). You can use this recipe without the wrap part and just serve the millet directly over a salad, if you prefer. You can also roast your own red peppers, too, but I just buy them in the jar (12 oz. is equivalent to about 2 red bell peppers). And make sure to use silken tofu and not firm! It will result in a super-smooth sauce.
