Millet with lime, cilantro, and carrots wrapped in butter lettuce. Super easy and fast. Also good if you're a vegetarian and have nothing to eat except miscellaneous raw things.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter
¼ cup millet
½ cup water
¼ small onion, chopped (Optional)
½ lime, juiced
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
3 leaves butter lettuce
1 carrot, chopped

Directions

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add millet and cook until toasted and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Add water, cover, and simmer until most of the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Stir onion, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt into millet; cook and stir until heated through and liquid is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Cool millet mixture for 3 minutes.
Divide chopped carrot among butter lettuce leaves. Spoon millet mixture over carrots.

Cook's Note:

Broth can be used in place of the water, if desired.
