Grilled Vegetables and Millet Salad

Any combination of millet, vegetables and healthy oils makes a great combination to me. But here, I'm particularly happy as roasting and grilling are my favourite methods of cooking. The honey and coconut sweetness of grilled courgette, pepper and red onion accompanied by mild groats of millet, chewy and salty sun-dried tomatoes and toasted black sesame seeds make a true marriage not only of flavours, but of textures and colours as well.



Ingredients:

• 1 courgette
• 1 red pepper
• 1 red onion
• 3/4 cup cooked millet
• 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon raw honey
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
• salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Peel the onion and cut in half-moons. Deseed the pepper and cut into 1 cm strips. Cut the courgette into 0,5 cm discs.
2. Place the vegetables in a baking tray lined with baking paper, add the honey and coconut oil, sprinkle with some sea salt and grill for about 15 minutes or until the veggies are soft and roasted. Toss them from time to time when grilling. When roasted, let them cool a bit.
3. Meanwhile, grab a small frying pan and toast the sesame seeds.
4. Put the millet in a large bowl, add the sun-dried tomatoes, grilled vegetables and black sesame seeds. Stir in the oils and season with pepper.
5. Serve and enjoy :)
