TOASTED MILLET
A round golden grain that resembles couscous, millet reamains the primary grain in much of Asia and parts of Africa. Americans know it mostly as birdseed, but it deserves a place at our tables for it's light, pleasant taste. Millet is rich in B vitamins, surpassing even brown rice and whole wheat. Millet can be a bit quirky to cook. Unless you steam it for an hour. as you would couscous, millet doesn't cook into even, separate grains. Some grains will be soft, like mashed potatoes, while others are still crunchy. This is part of its appeal. Information and recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone cookbook.

VEGETABLE NOODLE SALAD WITH SESAME VINAIGRETTE
This pasta salad is bursting with more than two pounds of sweet summer vegetables and brightened by a rich, tangy sesame-ginger vinaigrette. The angel hair pasta is broken into pieces for easy scooping, making it perfect for picnics and potlucks. It's a great make-ahead meal that travels well - and develops even more flavor as it sits. You can prepare it a few hours ahead and keep it at room temperature.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
- Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.
TOASTED MILLET AND CONFETTI VEGETABLE SALAD WITH SESAME AND SOY
Modified from Cooking Light, June 2007. I really, really *want* to like millet-it's a healthy whole grain, after all... but I've struggled to find a recipe I really like, and that my husband likes. This recipe is flavorful, relatively easy to make, and has vegetables for color, flavor, and additional nutritional value. It makes great leftovers, too. The original recipe calls for toasted walnuts, but my husband doesn't like them, so we opted for toasted sesame seed instead.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Meanwhile, coat bottom of a large saute pan with 1 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add millet and cook, stirring, over medium low heat until it gives off a toasted aroma, about 10 minutes. Add boiling hot water. Cover and cook over medium low heat until water is absorbed and millet is tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover and cool.

Steps:
- The toasted millet porridge can be made days ahead, or you can start the toast/soak when you begin to build your starter. Then at the porridge-boil stage, you can autolyse your flour.
- Porridge
- In a dry pan on medium heat, toast the 150g millet for 2-3 minutes, mixing and shifting it around. You should hear occasional popping and smell a nice aroma.
- Transfer the millet to a medium bowl and add 470 ml of water (2 cups). Cover and let sit 5 hours to overnight. When it has soaked sufficiently, you will be able to split a seed with your nail.
- Pour the contents of the bowl into a saucepan, and bring to a boil on your smallest burner. Cover the pan and lower the heat to simmer. Set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn off the heat but leave the lid on for 10 additional minutes. Then fluff, cool and use.
- Bread
- The instructions in italics are for the Tartine method. However, you may also mix all the ingredients together at once (I still suggest one stretch and fold after 20-30 minutes, mostly to ensure ingredient incorporation) and then resume the instructions after the italics section.
- Mix the flours and water, holding back about 1/4 cup of water. Cover and allow the dough to autolyse for 1-4 hours.
- Add the starter to the dough by pinching and kneading until it is incorporated. Cover again and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Begin a series of four rounds of stretching and folding, 20-30 minutes between each round.
- Before the second stretch and fold, dissolve the salt in the reserved water. Add the salt water and the toasted millet porridge to the dough. Pinch, squeeze, and knead with two hands until it is well distributed into the dough.
- Cover and let the dough ferment for several more hours. Total fermentation time depends on room temperature, but will likely be 6-10 hours.
- When the dough has roughly doubled in size and there are some bubble on the surface, flour your countertop and scrape the dough out onto it.
- If you've made a double dough (i.e. not halved the recipe), cut the dough in half and pre-shape it into round or oval balls, depending on the type of baking vessel(s) you have.
- Cover the dough with plastic and let it rest for ~20 minutes.
- Prepare your proofing basket(s) by dusting them with flour or bran flakes.
- Shape your doughs into tight round or oval shapes, transfer them to the proofing baskets, and cover. You can also roll the tops of the doughs in millet before placing them in the banneton (millet-side down) to proof. I find the seeds too hard to chew, however, so I don't do this -- even though it looks attractive.
- Proof at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 5-10 hours.
- Preheat your oven with the baking vessel(s) inside for 30 min at 500F.
- If you are doing 2 breads and only have one baking vessel, you can use the refrigerator to slow down the proof of one of the doughs, so that you bake the breads separately (different days, several hours apart, or in succession). If you bake one after the other, I suggest a 15 minute re-preheat of the baking vessel before bread #2.
- When the final proof and the preheating are complete, take the baking vessel from the oven. Gently flip the dough out of the basket and into the bottom of your baking vessel. Score the top of the dough. Cover and return the vessel to the oven.
- Bake at:
- 500F for 30 minutes lid on
- 450F for 10-15 minutes lid off
- When finished, the internal temp should be 205F or more.
- Remove the baking vessel from the oven and transfer the bread to a cooling rack.
- Let cool at least 1 hour before cutting. If you've chosen the higher hydration recipe variation, you may want to wait longer than 1 hour before cutting.

SESAME CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALAD
Crispy cucumber and creamy avocado perform a delicate dance with earthy notes of sesame in this most simple of salads. Thin-skinned varieties such as Persian or English cucumbers work best, as they are almost seedless with a robust flesh that stays crisp. But don't worry if you only have access to seedy cucumbers: Peel them if their skins are thick, then cut them in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds before slicing. No-cook and ready in a matter of minutes, this elegant salad can be dressed up according to your mood. It is a satisfying meal on its own, but it can also be served alongside cold soba noodles, or with brown rice and a fried or jammy egg on top.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Place the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until emulsified. Taste, and adjust seasonings. (Dressing should taste acidic, a little sweet and salty.)
- When you're ready to eat, prepare the salad: Halve the avocados and discard the pits. Using a small paring knife, carefully score the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, avoiding cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh (in one spoonful, if possible), as close to the skin as possible. Transfer avocado cubes to a large bowl and add the dressing; toss gently.
- Add the cucumbers and scallions and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, top with more sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
