My husband dislikes cauliflower but he couldn't recognize it in this dish and ate it with gusto! We topped it with mushroom sauce and found it quite wonderful that way.

Ingredients: 

59 ml 1/4 c. vegetable broth or water
240 ml1 c. diced onion
470 ml2 c. quinoa (or other grain)
950 ml4 c. chopped cauliflower
2 ml1/2 tsp. salt
950 ml4 c. water

Instructions: 

Heat 2 T. of the broth in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook and stir 3 minutes, adding more broth as needed.

Add the quinoa and stir 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower, salt and water. Cover and cook 15-20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

Mash the mixture with a potato masher, adding a little water or broth if necessary for a smooth consistency.
