MILLET WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND CHICKPEAS (VEGAN, GF)

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInPrint

Millet with roasted tomatoes and chickpeas (vegan, gf)Sweet summer tomatoes ♥ If you love them as much as I do, this is a good plant-based meal idea for you:  millet with roasted tomatoes and chickpeas (vegan, gf). I cook this meal several times in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. They are undoubtedly the star of this dish, but the creamy chickpea sauce comes in close second as does the fluffy well-seasoned millet. Click here to read this post in Finnish. 

Millet is a delicious and nutritious alternative to rice or pasta, and it became our new favorite when I learned to cook it properly with veggie stock to give it amazing flavor. The veggie stock cube is organic, plant-based and palm oil free and it’s become a staple in my kitchen as it adds a flavorful touch to any meal. Also the tomatoes and chickpeas are well-seasoned with good quality Extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and a few of my favorite spices. A good balanced mix of salty + acidic + sweet + spices is always a safe way to season food.

Although this is a warm cooked meal, it is very summery too, especially when you add fresh green herbs on top. I like to use a mix of all our garden herbs: basil, parsley, oregano, thyme. These herbs adds another level of flavor to any dish. Today my plate looked like this: same creamy sauce, but beans instead of chickpeas, chickpea pasta cooked with a veggie stock cube instead of millet. Yummy and full of summer flavors.

Millet with roasted tomatoes and chickpeas (vegan, gf)I’ll also cook this meal in autumn and winter, but will use seasonal root vegetables such as beets and parsnips instead of sweet summer tomatoes.

For now I’m super happy it’s summer and can’t wait to cook other seasonal dishes and share them with you.

Lots of love from the forest!
