BEGIN WITH MILLET
Place the millet in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 200ml of salted water and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
MEXICAN BEANS & CORN
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add the drained beans, the corn, and the Mexican spice mix. Fry until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
SPICY SOUR CREAM
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the chopped chipotle chillies (to taste - be careful, they are spicy!) and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of water and set aside.
ALMOST THERE
When the millet is done, toss through the spring onion whites and ½ the onion, corn & bean mixture. Season and set aside.
WELL DONE, CHEF!
Plate up the loaded millet. Top with the remaining onion, corn & bean mixture. Dollop over the spicy sour cream and the guacamole. Garnish with the thinly sliced jalapeños (to taste) and the spring onion greens.
