  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4          cups  uncooked millet
  2               cups  water
  1 1/2            tsp  kosher salt -- divided
  4                tsp  olive oil -- divided
  1              large  sweet potato -- fresh, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
     3/4           cup  scallions -- sliced
  2                tsp  thyme -- fresh, chopped
     1/4           tsp  black pepper -- freshly ground, or to taste
     1/4           cup  dried cranberries

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add millet; cook, stirring
frequently, until millet looks and smells toasted, about 4 minutes. 

Transfer millet to a medium saucepan. Add water and 1 teaspoon salt; bring
to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer and cook until millet is tender,
about 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. Add potatoes; cook, stirring frequently, until tender
and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, thyme, remaining
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until scallions
soften, about 1 minute.

When millet is finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in cranberries;
cover and let stand 5 minutes. Add millet and cranberries to skillet with
potato mixture; stir. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and toss to mix and
coat. 

Serves 6.  Yields about 3/4 cup per serving. 

If you haven't tried millet, give it a go. Toasting it before cooking
brings out a delicious, nutty, almost popcorn-like flavor.
