In the meantime peel, wash and cut carrots into small cubes. Cook for about 5 minutes in salted water, then drain on a sieve. Clean the savoy cabbage, remove 8 large leaves and blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes. Take out and let cool down. (Use the rest of the cabbage for other purposes.) Leave the millet to cool slightly. Stir in carrots and egg.

Pour in the remaining stock and let it boil down a little. Stir in crème fraiche. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper. Stir in the sauce thickener, bring to the boil again.
