Fonio salad

Directions

1. Rinse the fonio with cold water then line a steamer basked with a clean cloth and spoon in the fonio.

2. Sit the steamer basket over a pan of boiling water and cook for 30 minutes (alternatively, cook for 15 minutes at high pressure in a pressure cooker).

3. Whilst the fonio is cooking, cut the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes.

4. Remove the basil leaves from their stalk and chop coarsely.

5. When the fonio has cooked, turn into a bowl and set aside to cool then work in the olive oil to help separate the grains before seasoning to taste with salt and black pepper.
