Our Instant Pot millet recipe takes the hassle out of cooking, delivering perfectly fluffy and tender millet in under 30 minutes. Enjoy this rich in protein gluten-free grain as a side dish, a breakfast porridge, or add it to soups, stews, and salads.
In a mesh strainer, add measured millet and rinse it under running cold water. Drain the access water.
In your Instant Pot, add millet, salt and water. Close the lid and place the pressure valve in the "sealing" position.
Set the cooking time for 10 minutes on high pressure. Once the cooking time is over, let it naturally release for 10 minutes followed by a quick release for the remaining steam.
Carefully open the lid, and fluff it with the fork. You can add butter or ghee if serving as a side dish.
Notes
rinse millet under cold water before cooking.
in place of water, use milk for sweet porridge or broth for savory dishes.
one cup of uncooked millet makes about 3 ½ cups of cooked.
