Instructions

  1. Rinse millet thoroughly under cold running water until water runs clear to remove any bitterness.
  2. In a medium-sized pot, combine rinsed millet, cauliflower florets, grated ginger, turmeric powder, and optional apple. Pour in water or unsalted vegetable broth.
  3. Bring mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until millet is tender and cauliflower is soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let mixture cool slightly.
  5. Stir in the olive oil.
  6. Blend until smooth, adding extra water gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
  7. Cool to a suitable serving temperature before serving.
  8. Refrigerate promptly in covered containers for up to 3 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165 F (74 C), then cool to a suitable serving temperature.
