A Healthy mashed "potato"


If you crave mashed potatoes or are on macrobiotic diet but don't want the high glycemic rush here is an alternative that works amazingly well. No butter, no milk required for this fluffy healthy dish. Try it with your favorite turkey dinner or on a shepherd's pie or just fried and stuffed as a croquet. It is made of millet and cauliflower so you get your veges too!



Wash, rinse 1/2 cup millet grains andpPlace in a saucepan.

Add 2 1/2 cup water, about 1 1/2 cups chopped cauliflower and a pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil, reducing heat to simmer with cover on.

Cook for 35 minutes, stir after 30 minutes.

Millet thickens when cooked - cook until soft, remove from heat letting stand for 5 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, puree until smooth and with consistency of mashed potatoesl

Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
