Nutritional values

Millet offers a lot of blood-forming iron. In combination with vitamin C, for example from the beans and lemon juice, the body can better absorb the trace element from plants.

You like the dish, but would like to vary it a bit? No problem: Instead of millet, quinoa is also great, if you don't like coconut milk, just use regular milk and even with the herbs you can choose the varieties that you like best.

Preparation steps

1.

For the dip, cover 3.5 ounces of cashews with water and soak for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cook millet with twice the amount of salted water for about 20 minutes over medium heat. Then remove from heat, swell for about 10 minutes and let cool.

2.

Clean the beans, wash and cook in boiling salted water for 7-10 minutes. Then drain, rinse and drain. Then mix with 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and pepper.

3.

Meanwhile, for the dip, drain soaked cashews and coarsely puree with oatmeal and coconut milk. Wash parsley, shake dry, chop and mix into the dip. Season with salt and pepper and chill until ready to serve.

4.

Crumble feta into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the shallots. Mix both with the millet. For the chickpea dressing, peel the garlic. Rinse chickpeas, drain and finely puree with yogurt, garlic and 4 tablespoons water. Season with turmeric and curry powder, salt, pepper and remaining lemon juice.

5.

Wash mint, shake dry and pluck leaves. Cut cress from the bed. Arrange millet with beans on plates. Drizzle with dressing, top with dip and sprinkle with remaining cashews, mint and cress.
