- 1 bunch parsley, minced
- 200 g feta cheese, diced (low-fat is fine)

directions
- In a small saucepan combine millet and broth. Heat to a boiling and simmer for 5 minutes. Let soak for 10 more minutes until all the broth has been absorbed.
- Then heat oil in a large frying pan. Add garlic and squash/pumpkin. Sautee for 3 minutes. Then add scallions and bell pepper. Season with thyme. Sautee for another 3 minutes.
- Add the 4 tbs water and raisins along with the salt and pepper. Season with harissa paste. Allow to cook for another 8 minutes or until squash is tender, but still crunchy.
- Stir millet into veggie mixture and also add in feta cheese and parsley. If you like stir in the lemon juice.
- Serve immediately or let cool and enjoy then.
