Instructies
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a baking tray, toss the chopped carrots, parsnips, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, rinse the millet thoroughly. In a medium pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the rinsed millet to the pot and toast for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, add the saffron threads and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- 4.While the millet cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add 30-45ml of water, whisking continuously, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 5.Fluff the cooked millet with a fork. Gently fold in the roasted vegetables and the rinsed chickpeas.
- 6.Divide the millet and vegetable mixture between two bowls. Drizzle generously with the lemon-tahini sauce and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
