Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add millet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still toothsome, about 15 minutes. Drain, then run cool water over millet to rinse and cool.

    Step 2

    Place millet in a bowl and toss with oil, chili powder, pepper, and 1¼ tsp. salt. Stir in parsley, mint, scallions, radishes, and lemon juice. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, if desired.
