I can’t believe how well the ginger pairs with beets. I loved this and have made it twice! Bulgur subs for the millet nicely, and if you don’t have any tomatoes, try watermelon – worked like a charm.

I’ve been getting loads of beets from my CSA this month, and when I saw your recipe on Tastespotting, it looked like a delicious way to use some of them. I made mine with wheat berries, chiogga beets, yellow onion, and Thai basil instead of cilantro. Thanks for the inspiration!

I will try the millet. Years ago when I started doing accupunture, the guy I saw suggested that I start eating a morning gruel with millet, quinoa, wild rice and another grain – I can’t remember what it was – not barley, dried fruit and honey. It tasted vaguely of dirt. I have been leary of the grains since – not sure which one was the offending item.

Hey K, sorry it took me a bit to reply. Millet is very much like couscous, just a tad bit more moist. I would think if you like couscous, you’ll like millet. That being said, couscous would be a great substitute if you have it on hand and don’t feel like going out to geet millet.

PS – I can’t remember whether I like millet or not – but I am wondering if cous-cous would be an okay substitution if I don’t. It would kind of be like a Moroccan tagine dish, I suppose.

When I was a kid – beets were something I could take or leave – but I loved them pickled. It wasn’t until a few years ago I found out about the other varieties.

This fall my back yard is going to get tilled up and I will be trying my hand at next year at gardening – We will see how it turns out but beets – red, gold and candy cane are on the list of must try.
