Wash produce before use

1

Cook the millet

In a small sauce pot, bring 3 cups lightly salted water to a boil. While the water heats, in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, toast the millet, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
Add the millet to the boiling water, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the millet is just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh strainer and return the millet to the pot. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
While the millet cooks, prepare the baby broccoli.

2

Prep and cook the baby broccoli

  • Trim the root ends from the baby broccoli.
  • Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.
In the same pan used to toast the millet, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the broccoli and cook, turning once, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to individual bowls.
While the broccoli cooks, prepare the harissa and salad.

3

Prep the harissa

  • Zest and juice the lemon.
In a large bowl, stir together the lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon oil, and as much harissa powder as you like; season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Make the salad

  • Rinse the black beans and chickpeas.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
To the bowl with the harissa, add the millet, black beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, and half the cilantro and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Top the baby broccoli with the salad, garnish with the pea shoots and the remaining cilantro, and serve.
