Mock mashed - Thu 5th May 2011
If nightshades don't agree with you, here is what to do when you fancy mashed potatoes: cut a small cauliflower in florets, and dry roast approx the same quantity of millet. Say, two cups millet, two cups cauliflower.
Then pour 7 cups boiling water over the millet (careful it might erupt a bit), add the cauliflower and a pinch of salt, and cook on a low heat for roughly 30 minutes.
Mash, and if you wish, add some chopped chives, nutmeg, or even some slowly sautéed leeks.
Really delicious, and actually tastier than mashed potatoes. This should serve four hungry people, if there is a large veggie dish on offer and some sort of protein!

Very useful grain, especially if you need a wheat alternative. Has a neutral flavour, so works really well with flavoursome stocks or gravies. Helps make a great vegetarian stew!

Millet has a lovely sunny colour and a beautiful nutty taste, with a very good texture. It works well as a staple grain, but also as an interesting alternative for couscous, and is a bonus to make flour free cakes, biscuits or pancakes, as it gives a very fluffy and rich, chewy consistency and the best flavour. Besides, it cooks in no time at all.

Tips

Pastry case - Thu 5th May 2011
Millet, when cooked, can be mixed with oats to make a very rich pastry case. You just need to add a pinch of salt (even if you are making a sweet dish, the salt will bring out the sweetness) and a bit of oil and hot water.
Mix throroughly and adjust water quantity to obtain a dough, then press on a pie dish and bake for 10 minutes, then add your filling and bake more.
Millet goes particularly well with autumn flavours, like squashes and chestnuts.
