Organic Teff Grain Gluten Free 59p/100g

From £0.99

Quantity

Teff is a sweet-tasting grain that is similar to millet. These tiny reddish-brown seeds cook quickly in around 15 - 20 minutes. They can be used in a variety of dishes including porridge, stews, stuffing and soup. Teff flour also makes a fantastic base for bread and pancakes.

Teff grain is naturally gluten-free, making it a great alternative for those on a gluten-free diet! It is also a good source of protein for vegetarians and can be used as a filler in lots of vegetarian recipes. Cooked teff grain can be combined with vegetables and spices to make delicious vegetarian burgers!
Place 1/2 cup teff grain in 2 cups of fresh water (season if desire). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 15 - 20 minutes. The grain should have absorbed all the water and be tender.

In soups and stews: Add teff grain for the last 15 minutes of soup cooking. If making stew, add the grain at the beginning and allow to simmer with the other ingredients.

In porridge:

Use one cup of teff per person.
Optionally, toast the grains in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes. This enhances the flavour of the teff.
Boil in a pan of hot water (3 cups of water to 1 cup of teff) for around 10-15 minutes.
Turn the heat down. The teff will be ready when the water is absorbed and the grain is of a soft consistency.
Serve.
Teff can be served as a breakfast porridge with honey and fruit, or as a savoury alternative to rice or couscous with curries, meats or vegetables.
