I really wanted to create a special recipe that I could bring to my friends’ place for dinner and that would enhance the meal they were preparing. At home I had leftover cooked millet, pumpkins (a kitchen habitué this time of year) and a can of coconut milk. 30 minutes and 4 ingredients later, there it was: a super easy, creamy and healthy low FODMAP pumpkin millet casserole.
Coconut milk and brazil nuts are the unexpected rich ingredients that turn this casserole into something I had never tasted before. Instant success!
This low FODMAP pumpkin millet casserole is a wonderful combination of creamy and crunchy! It is perfect for Thanksgiving or for a special dinner. A delicious and healthy side dish and guaranteed to impress your guests 🙂
