Protective Recipe of the Week
Roasted Garlic, Cauliflower and Millet Puree
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
½ tsp. olive oil
1 head garlic
1 T. ghee*
3/4 cup millet
salt and ground black pepper
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
3 cups vegetable stock
1 tsp. ghee (optional)
chopped parsley
Procedure
Preheat oven to 375. Cut the top off the root of a head of garlic so the skin is exposed and drizzle ½ tsp. olive oil on top. Wrap with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for about an hour. Let the garlic cool.
Heat the ghee over medium high heat and add the millet, stirring constantly as it toasts. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper and add the cauliflower plus the stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. If the mixture gets dry, add more stock.
Remove from the heat. Add the roasted garlic and either with an immersion blender or in a food processor, puree the mixture until creamy. Add the ghee for a richer taste and salt if needed. Sprinkle parsley over each serving.
