Sweet Potato and Millet Salad

Heat ½ tsp butter in a non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add millet and toast for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in another pan. Add this boiling water to the toasted millet. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for another 25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and millet is tender. Set aside to cool.
Heat the remaining ½ teaspoon butter in another non-stick skillet; add onion and sauté till golden brown. Add chopped hot pepper and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. Add boiled sweet potato and salt, toss for another minute. Add the vegetables to the cooked millet. Garnish with lemon juice and pumpkin seeds. Serve hot or cold.
