MASHED CAULIFLOWER & MILLET

This recipe is a sneaky way to eat cauliflower, a star vegetable in the cruciferous family. Cruciferous vegetables contain unique cancer-fighting phytochemicals called isothiocyanates.


Directions

Makes 8 servings
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
2 cups dry millet, quinoa, couscous, or grain of your choice
4 cups chopped cauliflower (about 2 heads)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
water for cooking 2 cups of selected grain

Sauté onion, using broth or water, 2 tablespoons at a time as needed to prevent sticking, for 3 minutes. Add grain and toast for 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, salt, and water. Cover pot and cook until grain has absorbed all the water. When the grains are done, mash the mixture together with a potato masher. Add a little additional water if necessary in order to get a smooth consistency.
