Ingredients
- 1 cup Fonio rinsed and water drained
- 4 cups water
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Toppings
- 50 ml plant-based cream
- 1 Plum halved and pitted
Instructions
- Wash the fonio by placing it in a large bowl and covering it with water. Stir it with your fingers, then drain it. Repeat this process until the water runs clear. Drain well. Add the fonio to a large pot with 4 cups of water.
- Bring the fonio to a boil, then add the mixed spice and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the fonio has absorbed all the liquid.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan or skillet, grill the peaches for about a minute or until the grill marks have formed. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Stir the cream into the fonio and continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10–15 minutes until you get a thick, creamy porridge. Remove from the heat, add the sugar and stir well. Top with grilled plums and drizzle with cream, then serve immediately.
