🧂 Ингредиенты
- 1 cup Fonio
- 2 cups Water or Vegetable Broth
- 2 tablespoons Palm oil or Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Medjool dates(pitted and chopped)
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts(roughly chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper(or to taste)
- 1 medium Carrots(finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt(or to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
👨🍳 Инструкции

In a medium saucepan, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped dates, roasted peanuts, cayenne pepper, and diced carrots. Cook, stirring, until the carrots soften slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the fonio to the saucepan and stir until it is well-coated with the oil and aromatics, about 2 minutes.

Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Season with salt and black pepper.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fonio has absorbed all the liquid and is tender. Avoid stirring during this time to prevent the fonio from becoming mushy.
