Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup millet in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear; drain well.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 2 diced carrots and 1 diced potato, and the 1 tsp ground cumin. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the drained millet and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables, toasting for 2 minutes until it smells nutty.
Step 5
Pour in the 2 cups vegetable broth and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
