    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
  --------  ------------  --------------------------------
       3/4          cups  uncooked millet
    2               cups  water
    1 1/2            tsp  kosher salt -- divided
    4                tsp  olive oil -- divided
    1              large  sweet potato -- fresh, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
       3/4           cup  scallions -- sliced
    2                tsp  thyme -- fresh, chopped
       1/4           tsp  black pepper -- freshly ground, or to taste
       1/4           cup  dried cranberries
  
  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add millet; cook, stirring
  frequently, until millet looks and smells toasted, about 4 minutes. 
  
  Transfer millet to a medium saucepan. Add water and 1 teaspoon salt; bring
  to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer and cook until millet is tender,
  about 20 to 25 minutes.
  
  Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over
  medium-high heat. Add potatoes; cook, stirring frequently, until tender
  and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, thyme, remaining
  1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until scallions
  soften, about 1 minute.
  
  When millet is finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in cranberries;
  cover and let stand 5 minutes. Add millet and cranberries to skillet with
  potato mixture; stir. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and toss to mix and
  coat. 
  
  Serves 6.  Yields about 3/4 cup per serving. 
  
  If you haven't tried millet, give it a go. Toasting it before cooking
  brings out a delicious, nutty, almost popcorn-like flavor.
