Ingredients

Step cooking

1. First of all, we need to rinse 200 grams of millet and pour them with cold water. The proportions should be such that for one glass of millet there are two glasses of water. We put aside the grits to the side. When buying, pay attention to the color of wheat, it should be bright yellow and matte. This type of cereal is stored less than others, and moth in it starts more often.
   
2. We put on the stove a small pan in which we pour vegetable oil. The fire should be medium.
   
3. Meanwhile, chop the white onion. The size of the cubes or rings depends solely on your preference. The bulb itself should be medium in size, if you have a large one, then half will be enough. When choosing a bulb, pay attention to its crunch during compression. The husk should not be wet and the onion itself should be soft.
   
4. We shift the chopped onion into a pan and fry until light golden hue. Stir it periodically with a spatula and watch the fire. Optionally, you can squeeze a couple of cloves of garlic, this will add a mouth-watering aroma. Crushed garlic has a better smell than chopped, and at the same time, thanks to the release of allicin, it becomes an excellent antibiotic that regulates cholesterol in the blood.
   
5. Wash raw champignons and clean them from the top film on the hat. Cut the mushrooms into plates or cubes thick enough and send to the onion. Fresh, not hardened champignons lack any dark spots on their hats and smell of dampness, they are firm and fragrant. Keep in mind that frozen mushrooms lack useful properties, which is why give preference to fresh ones, but do not store them at room temperature, otherwise you will have to discard them after six hours.
   
6. Mix the contents of the pan. Over time, the mushrooms will give juice and after that 3 minutes our products should be stewed. When the mushrooms are ready, transfer them, along with the onions, to the pan to the soaked millet and mix everything. Add salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste. You can limit yourself to one salt.
   
7. We cover the pan with a lid and send to the stove to cook over low heat. We use a temperature controller. The dish can be considered ready when the arrow reaches the middle of the green field.
   
8. Turn off the heat and leave the dish for 20 minutes without removing the lid. We shift the porridge into a plate and beautifully decorate the top with fresh herbs.
