Vegan Kasza Jaglana (Millet Porridge) with Apples and Cinnamon

Ingredients

• 1 cup Millet
• 2 cups Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
• 1 cup Water
• 2 medium Apples, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Vegan butter (optional)

Instructions

1. 1Measure 1 cup of millet into a fine-mesh sieve. Rinse the 1 cup of millet under cold running water for about 1 minute, or until the water draining from the sieve runs clear. Set aside.
2. 2In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed 1 cup of millet, 2 cups of plant-based milk, 1 cup of water, 2 medium apples (peeled and diced), 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
3. 3Place the medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Watch for large bubbles breaking the surface.
4. 4Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the mixture simmer gently for 20-25 minutes. You are looking for the millet to become tender and most of the liquid to be absorbed. The porridge should be thick but still creamy.
5. 5Stir the porridge occasionally during the simmering time, about every 5 minutes, to prevent the millet from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. You will hear gentle bubbling sounds if it is simmering correctly.
6. 6If you are using the 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of vegan butter until it is completely melted and incorporated into the porridge. This will add extra richness.
7. 7Serve the Vegan Kasza Jaglana warm immediately. It is a hearty breakfast porridge.
