Oven-Baked Millet

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the millet.

3. 3

   Toast, stirring or shaking the pan, until the grains begin to pop and smell toasty, sort of like popcorn.

4. 4

   Add the water or stock and the salt.

5. 5

   Transfer the pan to the preheated oven.

6. 6

   Set the timer for 25 minutes and give the millet a stir.

7. 7

   Bake for another 25 minutes.

8. 8

   There should still be some liquid in the pan.

9. 9

   Stir in the butter and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the millet is thick and no more water or stock is visible in the pan.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven; if desired, stir in the Parmesan.

11. 11

    Serve right away, topped with tomato sauce or a stew.

12. 12

    Alternatively, allow to cool, either in the pan or spread in a small sheet pan, baking dish or cake pan; when it is solid, cut into squares, slices or rounds, which you can grill, fry or layer in a gratin.
