Instructions
Bring water to a boil. Add millet and reduce to a simmer. Cook for approx. 20 minutes or cooked through.
Heat a medium sized frying pan on medium heat.
Add vegetable broth, then garlic and onion to the pan. Lightly cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add bell peppers and salt. Cook until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Add millet and lentils to pan with vegetables. Stir until combined. Turn heat to low and heat the mixture for a couple minutes to incorporate flavours.

Notes:
- Keeps well in the fridge and easily reheats in a saucepan.
- Swapping out ghee for high quality cold extracted olive oil will offer a healthy source of monounsaturated fat.
- Adding yellow and orange bell peppers will create more colour.
