Maple Walnut Teff Porridge

Teff has been cultivated in Ethiopia for nearly 3,000 years.  Teff flour is used to make Ethiopia’s staple flatbread, injera. The teff grain is very small and packs a sweet toasted flavor, making for a wonderful porridge. This hearty recipe is perfect for any morning — serve it steaming hot on a chilly day, or refrigerate a large batch, to enjoy chilled in the summertime.

Ingredients

2 cups water

½ cup canned light coconut milk

1 cup teff (whole grain, not the flour)

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup

¼ cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized pot, bring the water and coconut milk to a boil and add the teff.
  2. Quickly lower the heat to simmer.
  3. Stir in the cardamom and sea salt.
  4. Cook (uncovered) for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.  Stir every 5 minutes or so, to keep the bottom from sticking.
