Equipment

cooking pan
immersion blender
sieve
(electric coffee) grinder optional

Ingredients

½ cup millet
½ cup orange juice
½ cup water + extra if needed
2 dried fig
1 tsp pumpkin spice
½ teaspoons fennel seeds preferably grind yourself
2 pinches Celtic sea salt or to taste

Optioneel

½ teaspoons sumac

Instructions

Rinse the millet under the tap. I do this in a sieve.
Boil the millet gently for 10 minutes in the water and orange juice. Stir occasionally.
Grind the fennel seeds if you use whole seeds (preferred, more taste!).
Turn the heat down low. Cut the figs into pieces. Add the pumpkin spices, the ground fennel seeds and the salt to the millet.
Mix everything together with the immersion blender. This way, the sweetness of the figs will be nicely absorbed by the porridge. Most of the millet grains can remain whole.
Now determine how thick you want the porridge to be by stirring extra water through the millet.
Pour into a plate. If desired, garnish with some orange slices, fig and sprinkle some sumac over it.

Notes

If you can find sumac, just leave it out.
