👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a saucepan, combine millet and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the millet is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Once the millet is cool enough to handle, beat in the eggs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Grease a round-bottomed dish with butter and sprinkle with semolina. Spoon the millet mixture into the dish, pressing down gently. Place the dish in a larger casserole dish with a little water and steam for 25 minutes.
3
While the millet steams, prepare the mushroom ragout. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the toasted cashew nuts and fry briefly until lightly browned. Remove cashews and set aside.
4
Add the sliced Omajova mushrooms to the same pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture. Sprinkle with flour and stir briefly.
5
Pour in the crème fraîche and a little more vegetable stock if needed to create a sauce. Cook gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.
6
Carefully turn the steamed millet mixture out onto a plate. Cut into quarters and serve hot, accompanied by the Omajova mushroom ragout. Garnish with toasted cashew nuts.

✓Omajova mushrooms are seasonal and best enjoyed fresh. If unavailable, large portobello or king oyster mushrooms can be substituted, though the flavor will differ.
✓Ensure the millet is not overcooked, as it will be steamed further.
