Eggs and Millet Groats Paste

This paste reigns on my sandwiches. It is very delicious. Chives do not just give it a flavor, but also emphasize the taste. It's great for breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup millet groats
• 2.5 cup water
• 3 eggs
• salt and pepper
• chives
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 2 tsp mayonnaise

Instructions:

Rinse the millet under cool running water to remove dirt and debris. Keep rinsing as needed until the water appears clear rather than cloudy. Transfer the millet into a pot and then add at 1.5 cups of water. Stir the millet and allow it to boil at medium-high heat. Lower the heat once the water boils. Cover the skillet or pot to allow the millet to cook. Keep the lid on for at least 20 minutes. 
Cook hard-boiled eggs.
Blend cooked millet, eggs, salt, pepper, yogurt, mayonnaise until smooth. 
Garnish with chives.
Serve with your favourite bread.

Farinata with Black Cumin

Farinata is essentially a large chickpea pancake from Provence. It's a perfect snack when eaten like a piece of pizza on waxed butcher paper.
I like to serve it for dinner with vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 cup water
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• salt
• a little black cumin

Instructions:

Pour the water into a bowl. Slowly whisk in the chickpea flour and 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil until smooth (you can also use blender which will help you to eliminate lumps). Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Heat a skillet in the oven for 10 minutes.

Stir in the salt and the remaining olive oil.

Put the batter to the skillet (it should be thin).

Sprinkle with the black cumin on the top.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp around the edges. Slide the farinata onto a board; cut into wedges. Sprinkle with pepper; serve.
