How to make
Boil the beetroot or roast the whole head in the oven. It is also suitable to use canned pickled ones.
Put the millet to boil in lightly salted water with a spoonful of oil and the bay leaf - 15-18 minutes. At the same time, in a separate pot, boil the cleaned green beans, if you are using fresh ones. In case you chose to boiled from a tin, just wash and strain them. It is good to use young and tender ones and of the round variety.
Finely chop the cucumber, onion, coriander and pepper and mix them well with olive oil, salt, black pepper and lemon juice (if your lemon is large, use only 20-30 ml of the juice or according to your taste)
Strain the finished millet from the water and stir immediately, so that it does not stick together and is not too hot.
Add the fresh chopped vegetables with the spices, green beans and diced beetroot.
Stir and serve the finished pilaf right away while it's still warm.
Enjoy your meal!
