Serves 4-6

Soak the millets in 3-4 cups of water overnight. Drain and pressure cook the millets with 4 cups of water until cooked (careful not to overcook). Fluff the millets up with a fork and allow to cool. Mix all other ingredients (except olives) together. Add the cooked millets and mix gently. Transfer to a serving plate or bowl, garnish with olives and serve.
