For some extra protein and vitamins, add 3 tbsp of cooked, toasted millet:

Heat millet in saucepan over medium heat until it starts to make a popping sound. Add water and salt and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until all water has been absorbed. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork and serve.
