Ingredients
4 servings
- Fonio — to buy300 g
- Carrot — to buy1
- Green beans — to buy100 g
- Onion — to buy1
- Neutral oil — to buy2 tbsp
- Stock — to buy500 ml
- Salt — to buy1 tsp
Preparation
Quickly rinse the fonio in a fine sieve under cold water to remove milling dust.
Cut the carrot into small dice and the green beans into short lengths.
Heat the oil in a saucepan, sauté the sliced onion for 3 minutes, add the carrot and green beans, and stir-fry for 4 minutes.
Pour in the hot stock, bring to a boil, and season with salt.
Add the fonio in a steady rain while stirring, cover, and cook for 5 minutes over very low heat: fonio swells very quickly and absorbs all the liquid.
Remove from heat, let rest covered for 5 minutes, then gently fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
Serve hot, alongside a sauce or a stew.
