Millet Risotto Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Millet Risotto is a delicious and nutritious twist on the classic Italian dish. Instead of using Arborio rice, this recipe uses millet, a gluten-free grain that is high in fiber and protein. The millet is cooked in vegetable broth with onions, garlic, and mushrooms, resulting in a creamy and flavorful risotto. This dish is perfect for those following a gluten-free or vegetarian diet.
