Instructions

Pour the millet into a dry pan. Toast for about 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it smells toasted and you start to hear the millet pop.
Pour in the 2 cups water (it will spit as the pan is hot, so take care). Add the olive oil and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for about 17 to 20 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed.
Allow to stand covered for 10 minutes. Fluff the millet with a fork. Add more salt to taste if desired. To serve as a side dish, add chopped herbs, spices, more olive oil or butter, or Parmesan cheese to taste.
