Teff Porridge With Pecans, Dates, And Honey

1. 1

   In a heavy-bottomed pot, toast the teff over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to pop.

2. 2

   Once the teff is popping, add the butter and stir constantly until the butter melts and coats the teff (about 2 to 3 minutes).

3. 3

   Add the water and cloves, stir, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the dates, salt, and honey. Stir to mix well. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. The teff is ready when it's creamy and all the water has been absorbed. (If it gets too thick too quickly, you can add a little water to thin it out.)

5. 5

   Spoon the porridge into a bowl and top with the toasted nuts and cream (or milk or yogurt). Drizzle a little more honey over the top if you like a sweeter breakfast.
