Delicious, warming, and with a hearty dose of sneaky healthy foods (cauliflower, mushrooms, mirin, millet, onions, and garlic) – this potato mash will be a huge hit with your entire family (kids included) and a perfect addition to a warming holiday meal. Millet is a versatile, gluten free, heart-healthy whole grain. Mildly sweet, light and fluffy, it cooks in 30 minutes and is a brilliant addition to your mash. Millet was the prevalent grain of China before rice. In 2005 in northwestern China archeologists unearthed a perfectly preserved 4000 year old bowl containing long yellow noodles made from foxtail millet (!) This cereal grain is something worth experimenting once you’ve perfected your quinoa making abilities!
