Savory Millet Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup oats
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 cup millet
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 0.5 cup diced carrot
• 0.5 cup diced celery
• 0.5 cup diced potato
• 0.25 cup safflower oil
• 0.25 cup tamari sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 whole cloves
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and the oats to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the water is fully absorbed, approximately 10 minutes. Simultaneously, in a separate saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water and the millet to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the water is absorbed and the millet becomes tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cooked oats and millet with the diced onion, carrot, celery, and potato. Add safflower oil, tamari, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients well until evenly distributed.
4. Gently press one pie crust pastry into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the prepared filling into the crust. Cover with the second pie crust pastry, carefully pinching the edges to seal. Create a few small vents on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, typically around 40 minutes.
