Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • Kosher or fine sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced or finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 cup millet rinsed and drained
  • cups water
  • ¼ cup dried currants or cranberries
  • ¼ cup pitted green olives chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Spread onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for about 30 minutes or until tender and brown in spots.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, and mustard seeds. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the cumin, curry powder, and millet. Stir for 1 minute. Add the water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the millet is fluffy, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Using a fork, fluff up the millet and mix in the currants, olives, and parsley. Gently stir in the squash and season the pilaf, to taste, with salt and pepper before serving.
