I dunno. I almost didn't like this, but then after it sat in the fridge all night it got a bit better. Was better with a bit of salt too. I dunno. Really, this just didn't work for me. Wasn't so flavorful...or the flavors didn't work together...or something.

I pulled millet at 35 minutes, but it still came out a little mushier than I like it. However, the combo of millet and green leafy vegetables was definitely a winner. I think I'll try something similar in the future, but maybe skip the apricots and try some grated parmesan cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a delicious dish and I can't wait to make it again. Spinach tastes great with pine nuts, and the millet and apricots add substinance to the dish. It was very easy to make. I used chicken broth and it turned out wonderful.

Easy to make and an exquisite taste experience! I'm delighted with this savoury-sweet grain dish. I used frozen chopped kale in place of the fresh spinach leaves and it worked well. The lemon and the toasted pine nuts make the magic happen here, I'd say, but then it would be nothing without the apricots, either. The millet took a bit less time to cook, 30-35 min and it was perfect. Thanks for this keeper.
