Beetroot anise millet risotto with warm green salad

Millet is one of my favourite grains. It contains more vitamins, minerals and protein than rice, and has a mellower flavour than quinoa, but you can use it in much the same way as you would the other grains. Its cheaper price tag also wins a place in my heart! The roasted beetroot adds another level of indulgence to this deliciously warming risotto. This is a very Kapha-friendly recipe – great for winter when you want to feel warm and hibernate, but don’t want to feel too sluggish.
