2. Place the vegetables in a sauté pan, dot with the butter and add the honey and salt.
3. Pour in enough boiling water just to reach the top of the vegetables.
4. Cook over moderate heat, partially covered to let some of the steam escape.
5. When all the water has evaporated, let the vegetables caramelize, stirring constantly.
6. Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F).
7. Combine the grains in the milk as indicated.*
8. Oil or butter ramekins or individuals dishes. Place a layer of vegetables in the bottom of each. Cover with the grains and bake for 25 minutes.
