Cook fonio like rice

A lovely African grain that, like many, can be prepped as sweet, savory, a flour, a porridge, or in this case, a drier, fluffy, rice-like dish. You can cook it in a pot or, as here, a microwave.

Cook

1. Add your preferred amount of fonio to a microwaveable container.

2. Add the same weight of liquid as of fonio.

   • Examples: For 45g of fonio, add 45g of liquid. For .25 cup, add .35 cup of liquid.

3. Microwave on high in an open container for 2 minutes.

   • Note: Time can vary. Cook as little or much as you want for your desired texture.

4. Add oil, salt, and/or spices to taste.

Eat

1. Eat it.

Tips:

• Delicious with fresh avocado, olives, or a number of other dishes.

• Stores in the fridge for a couple days, and reheats well in the microwave, in a skillet with oil, or baked in the oven at 350-375°F until your preferred toastyness.
