Kale, Cranberry and Millet Dressing

We use two kinds of kale in this holiday-style dressing, but you could also use two bunches of a single type. Stir in one cup chopped raw cashews before baking the dressing if you like.

Method

Place 1 cup of the millet in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.


Cook, shaking the pan, until grains are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.


Pour in 2 3/4 cups of the broth and bring to a boil.


Lower the heat, cover and simmer until millet is tender and most of broth is absorbed, about 30 minutes.


Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for at least 5 minutes.


Meanwhile, combine kale, onions and 1/2 cup water in a large pot over medium heat.


Cover and cook, stirring frequently, until kale is very tender, 12 to 15 minutes.


Stir in cranberries, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper.


In a small saucepan, bring remaining 1 cup broth to a boil.


In a small cup, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir mixture into broth.


Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes.


Preheat the oven to 375°F.


Fold millet into the pot with kale.


Stir in cornstarch mixture.


Scoop dressing into a 2-quart baking dish.


Bake until browned on top and heated through, about 35 minutes.


Cool for 15 minutes before serving.


Meanwhile, place remaining 3 tablespoons millet in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.


Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until grains are lightly browned and some have popped, about 4 minutes.


Immediately remove from the heat, stir in remaining pinch salt and sprinkle over baked dressing.
