Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Toasted Black Sesame Fonio.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a small skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the black sesame seeds.
Step 3
Keep an eye on them as you stir frequently; you want to toast them until they release a delightful nutty aroma and turn a lovely golden color, which should take about six minutes.
Step 4
While those seeds are toasting, fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 5
When the water is bubbling away, add in your toasted sesame seeds, fonio, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Give it a good stir and let the mixture come back to a boil.
Step 7
Once it’s bubbling again, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the saucepan, and let it work its magic for about five minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
Step 8
When the time is up, take it off the heat and fluff the fonio with a fork to make it light and airy.
Step 9
Now you’re ready to serve this delicious dish that’s bursting with flavor and texture! Enjoy every bite!.
