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 ghee, 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.

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.
Olive Oil can be used in place of ghee.
