Millet Carrot Mash

Millet Carrot Mash

1 cup millet

2 cups water

3 carrots, peeled, diced

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 Tbsp sage, chopped

To prepare millet, follow directions on the bag – combine water and millet, bring to boil and simmer until water is absorbed and grain is fluffy. In the meantime, steam carrots (or cook in boiling water until soft). Using a blender, purée carrots to desired creaminess. Combine carrots with millet, adding butter, salt and desired seasonings. Sage or an another herb will give this mash a bit of an edge.
