I decided to try the buckwheat thing again, but I was out of buckwheat so I used millet.

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups of millet
• 5 cups of boiling water
• Some salt
• 5 small onions, sliced thinly in half circles
• A respectable hunk of butter
• 1/2 pound of button mushrooms, sliced into 1/4" slices

Method

1. Put butter in frying pan over medium heat. Fry onions till translucent.
2. Meanwhile mix millet, boiling water and salt and simmer over low heat.
3. When the onions are translucent, add mushrooms. Check butter level; add more if necessary. Cover, cook till the mushrooms are soft.
4. By this time the millet should be at edible stage. If there, then poor it into the frying pan and cook until the extra water is gone.

Comments

• That was probably too much millet for the amount of mushrooms. Next time around I would probably try one cup of millet, two cups of boiling water, and everything else just the same.
• Still, it turned out an entirely edible, bland dish.
• I'm of two minds about this dish for the future. On the one hand, it is good to learn to eat subtle, non-aggresive dishes. On the other, it is good to make things tastier. I think next time around I will only use one cup of millet, and that way the mushroom taste will be more obvious. Of course, one could add a bouillon cube to the millet, but perhaps that would be cheating.
