Warm Fonio Salad

1. 1

   In a pan, heat up a tablespoon or two of oil. Add the fonio and fry, about 5 minutes till grains are lightly toasted. Remove from pan and set aside.

2. 2

   Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan and stir-fry your mixed vegetables, for 2 - 3 minutes. Season lightly with salt then return the fonio to the pan and stir to combine, adding dried fruits and nuts

3. 3

   Pour over 1 cup of water or stock, stirring well. Allow to cook on low heat. Check after a few minutes and if not as soft as you'd like, add another 1/2 - 1 cup of water, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 - 10 minutes or until cooked to your taste

4. 4

   Allow it sit for another 10 and then fluff the grains with a fork - by raking up and through.

5. 5

   Serve warm: with cranberry or hibiscus sauce and a soft boiled egg; or make a Buddha bowl
