- When we think that the father of medicine said - "Let food be thy Medicine". we can easily see how far we have drifted from this. Medicine is now only medications and surgery and doctors do not even study about the healing benefits of foods. Like this recipe below, I will focus on the benefits of these wonderful plant based foods. This is what Mother Nature gave us to eat- these foods are real medicine, meant for our bodies.
Quinoa and Millet
1 cup Millet, rinsed
1 cup Quinoa, rinsed ( to eliminate bitter taste, soak 1 to 2 hours) Quinoa can be cooked without soaking too.
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
5 cups water
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried Basil
1/2 teaspoon dried Sage
1 bunch asparagus, sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
1 bunch Italian Parsley, minced
Preparation:
Soak the Quinoa for 1 to 2 hours to eliminate small bitter taste. If you don't have time you can go ahead and just rinse the Quinoa. Rinse the Millet.
Put the millet and quinoa in a good size pot with the sea salt and 5 cups of water. Add the rest of the ingredients except the Italian Parsley and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat to simmer and cover the pot.
Do not stir during this time. Cook for 30 minutes.
At the end of 30 minutes, add the minced Italian Parsley and stir well, mixing all ingredients well together and enjoy.
Note: Next day to eat again, to reheat just steam in steamer basket for a few minutes and enjoy once again. Remember, eat along with either a raw salad or steamed leafy greens and some kimchi or sauerkraut.

@@WendyGilker that is not the issue.
