Spiced Millet Salad

Ingredients

• ~2 cups cooked millet (or couscous)
• 1 medium eggplant, cut into discs, grilled, then cubed ( <— crucial to the flavors!)
• 1/4 red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 can chickpeas, including bean goo for stickiness and moisture
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup arugula, steamed, then chopped (or spinach or another green or omit)
• 1/4 cup pecan pieces (or walnuts or almonds)
• A lot of garam masala and turmeric, maybe 1 tbsp each (or cinnamon!)
• Salt to taste (will be more than you think)
• Black pepper and cayenne to taste
• Maybe some olive oil if you still need some liquid and moistness (1 tbsp)
