Millet Refried Beans

Adding millet to beans adds much more fiber and nutrition along with an awesome taste.

Ingredients

3 cups dry beans, black or pinto

¼ cup uncooked millet

9 cups water

1 t. salt

1 T. extra virgin olive oil



Directions

Using pressure cooker, cook the dry beans and millet according to your manufactures directions until tender. Usually 3 to 1 ration about 35 to 45 minutes. You can tell when the beans are done when you open up the pressure cooker and if none of the beans are floating they are done. When done, drain off a little of the liquid and add the salt and oil. Using an emersion blender, puree the beans in the pot, remembering to leave a little texture in them.

Barley makes the most wonderful salads. I love the chewy texture and buttery flavor. This salad is one of my very favorites. Remember to not add the lettuce until ready to serve.
