Makes 8 servings

This dish is delicious when served topped with Mushroom Gravy (see recipe).

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups dry millet, quinoa, couscous, or grain of your choice
4 cups chopped cauliflower
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
water for cooking 2 cups of selected grain


Brush pot with oil, then add onion. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add grain and roast 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.
