With a mild nutty flavour, teff is packed with protein, iron, calcium and amino acids. When cooked, it has a similar taste to raw cacao powder and adds a crunchy texture to salads or porridge.

Brown teff
200 g, (1 cup)
Coconut milk, reduced-fat, unsweetened
1 cup(s), (250ml)
Vanilla bean extract, alcohol free
½ tsp

Mixed spice

Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Cook teff for 3-4 minutes, shaking pan frequently, until toasted. Grains will start to pop when toasted.
