Method

Preparation

1

Rinse the Fonio

Place the fonio in a fine mesh sieve and rinse it under cold running water to remove any impurities. This step ensures a cleaner taste and texture.

Cooking

2

Combine Ingredients

In a medium pot, combine the rinsed fonio, water, and salt. Stir to mix the ingredients well.

3

Bring to a Boil

Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

4

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the fonio has absorbed all the water.

5

Fluff and Add Olive Oil

Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the fonio and stir in the olive oil to enhance the flavor.
