- 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro , or more to taste
Instructions

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir carrot mixture, onion, and green bell pepper until softened, about 10 minutes. Add millet; stir until fragrant and toasted, about 3 minutes.

Authentic Kicked-Up Syrian Hummus
This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch by adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago, and she said it was incredible — that was my Oscar moment! Even people who don't like hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!
