Ievgen Klopotenko
Add ¼cup of millet and 2tbsp of all-purpose flour to a large bowl
Break 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk to combine the whites and yolks. Add 2tbsp of the egg to the millet and mix by hand
Once the mixture no longer sticks to your hands, add 2tbsp of egg and 2tbsp of flour. Mix again until combined

Add the coated millet and season with salt to taste. Simmer over medium heat for 40m, stirring from time to time, until completely cooked through
Small chop ½bulb of fennel. Reserve the leaves and about 2tbsp of the chopped bulb for garnishing
Slice 600g of white button mushrooms
Melt 1tbsp of butter on a hot skillet over medium heat
Sautée the mushrooms and the fennel until browned. Season with salt to taste
Remove the millet from the heat and strain
Transfer the cooked millet to a large bowl and add 1tbsp of grated hard goat cheese
Add 1tbsp of grated parmesan cheese and the sauteed mushrooms. Stir to combine
Plate the millet
Garnish with the chopped fennel bulb and leaves. The egg-rolled millet with mushrooms is ready
