Millet is a very budget-friendly and easy-to-cook grain. However, it has a slightly bitter flavor and a rather dense texture. That's why it goes well with vegetables and fatty ingredients.

Food blogger Bohdana Klymenko shared a recipe for baked millet on her Instagram page. According to the recipe, the cereal is complemented with lard, fried onions and cream, which fix the bitterness and make the millet very tender and flavorful.
