Millet Loaf is a favorite of mine.
(Millet is very alkalizing)  Yum!

Millet loaf

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups millet
3-3/4 cups water
1-1/2 cups carrots, finely diced/grated
1 cup celery, finely diced
1 cup onions, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame or sunflower oil
1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 cup sunflower seeds, lightly toasted (optional) YES do ADD
3 tablespoons whole wheat or spelt flour

Directions:

1. Rinse millet and put in a medium saucepan with water and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, lid ajar slightly, over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until soft; the millet should absorb all the water.

2. Saute the carrots, celery, onions, and garlic in sesame oil or sunflower oil until the onions are translucent.  Add the seasonings.

3. Mix the cooked millet and veggies together, along with the sunflower seeds, if you wish.

4. Add 3 tbsp flour to the millet mixture, blending well.

5. Lightly oil (and flour, optional) 2 loaf pans. Press the millet mixture into the pan, and bake at 400 F for one hour (45 minutes if the millet is still warm when you put it into the pan).

6.  Allow the loaf to cool for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a platter and slicing.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
