Did you know that the drug penicillin was discovered by pure accident? The scientists at that lab hit the jackpot when they left dishes overnight and found that some fungus warded off bacteria! This recipe kinda happened like that (without the gross dishes…) as this recipe was supposed to be something totally different but turned out into an excellent fiber-filled mash! We served it with brown rice and extra lemon and LOVED how it turned out! This recipe would be great to double and freeze!
