Simple Quinoa & Millet Pilaf

1 cup quinoa
1 cup millet
1/2 tsp pure salt

• Rinse the grains well in a fine mesh strainer.
• Add the grains to a dry saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Stir with a wooden spoon until all of the water (clinging to the grains from rinsing) has evaporated.
• Continue stirring until the grains emit a faint, roasted aroma.
• Add 4 cups water & the salt.
• Stir once to dislodge any grains that might have stuck to the bottom.
• Cover & bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat & simmer, covered, for about 10 mins, or until the water is absorbed.
• Let the pilaf sit, covered, for 5 mins before fluffing with a fork.

SIDE NOTES:

~ This is obviously, a very plain, simple dish that needs to be coupled with something bursting w/ flavor (such as AFRICAN-GROUNDNUT-STEW).
