Millet Crockpot Congee

This simple dish is a filling meal all on its own. Just put all the ingredients in a crock potbefore you go to bed, and you’ll wake up to a warm and comforting breakfast.

Millet is a delicious whole grain that provides a number of nutritional benefits. One serving of millet provides over a quarter of your recommended daily intake of magnesium and it is also a great source of manganese and phosphorus.

Chinese medicine considers millet to be a tonic for the spleen and kidneys, and combined with antioxidant-rich goji and mullberries this meal truly nourishes the body.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups millet
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tbs dried goji
  • 2 tbs dried mullberry
  • Ghee to taste
  • Stevia (optional)

Instructions

For a richer flavor, toast millet in a hot, dry pan for 3 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently, as the millet can burn easily.

Combine millet, water, and berries in crock pot and cook on low for about 8 hours

The berries will impart a slightly sweet flavor into the dish, but you can also add stevia.

Serve warm with ghee for added flavor.
