Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot combine millet, milk, sugar and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down to a low and simmer for 15 minutes stirring once in a while until the grain is tender. Check on your porridge half-way through to make sure it hasn't gone dry and add a splash of milk or water if needed to keep it loose and creamy.
  • Meanwhile remove the stones from the plums and slice them thickly. Then put them in a small saucepan with water and honey, cook over medium heat while stirring for 5-7 minutes until they are softened but still hold their shape and the liquid turned into a glaze.
  • Serve the millet porridge topped with honey glazed plums and sprinkled with some chia seeds or chopped nuts if desired.
