Comments

Just made this for dinner tonight. Turned out very well. We are vegetarians so it was a main course for us (plenty of protein with the millet and black beans). Nice light summer dinner. Would definitely make it again. Thanks! I’ll be sure to try out some of the other recipes on this site.
