Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup almonds
2 cups water
1 cup fonio grains
4 dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup milk
½ cup raisins
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup fresh blueberries
6 tablespoons milk
6 tablespoons shredded coconut
6 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Toast walnuts and almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, 4 to 5 minutes. Chop into big pieces and set aside.
  • Pour water and fonio into a medium saucepan. Stir to eliminate any lumps. Add dates. Bring to a low boil, stirring often while crushing the date pieces. Reduce heat to a simmer when dates begin to dissolve. Add 1 cup milk, raisins, and cranberries. Continue to simmer, stirring often, until fonio absorbs all the liquid, about 8 minutes.
  • Divide the porridge into 6 bowls. Serve topped with equal amounts of toasted nuts, blueberries, 6 tablespoons milk, coconut, and cinnamon.
