Cooked teff grain can be combined with vegetables and spices to make delicious vegetarian burgers!

Organic gluten-free whole brown teff grain.

Place 1/2 cup teff grain in 2 cups of fresh water (season if desire). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 15 - 20 minutes. The grain should have absorbed all the water and be tender.

In soups and stews: Add teff grain for the last 15 minutes of soup cooking. If making stew, add the grain at the beginning and allow to simmer with the other ingredients.

In porridge:

Use one cup of teff per person.
Optionally, toast the grains in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes. This enhances the flavour of the teff.
Boil in a pan of hot water (3 cups of water to 1 cup of teff) for around 10-15 minutes.
Turn the heat down. The teff will be ready when the water is absorbed and the grain is of a soft consistency.
Serve.
Teff can be served as a breakfast porridge with honey and fruit, or as a savoury alternative to rice or couscous with curries, meats or vegetables.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
