Instructions

1
Rinse the millet in a strainer, first with cold water, then with boiling water, to remove any bitterness. Drain it well.
2
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped shallot until translucent. Add the grated carrot and sauté for 3 minutes, until it caramelizes slightly and releases its color.
3
Add the drained millet to the saucepan. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes, so the grains become coated with oil and develop a gentle nutty aroma.
4
Add the turmeric, black pepper and ginger. Stir and immediately pour in the hot broth.
5
Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to minimum, cover the saucepan and cook for 15–18 minutes, until the porridge has absorbed all the liquid. Do not stir while cooking.
6
Turn off the heat and let the covered porridge rest for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, quickly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan.
7
Fluff the porridge with a fork (to keep it light), stir in the parsley, and sprinkle with the toasted pumpkin seeds.
