Directions
Toast the millet in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until slightly golden and brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer the toasted millet into a pot with the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 35 minutes until the broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork.
