Teff & Fig

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup teff grain
• 1 cup water
• 2 fresh or soaked dried figs

Method

1. 01

   If using dried figs, soak in warm water for 15 minutes. Fresh ripe figs can be used as-is.

2. 02

   Rinse teff and cook in 1 cup of water over medium heat, simmering for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until thick.

3. 03

   Remove stems from figs, then blend fig flesh with a little water until completely smooth.

4. 04

   Stir fig puree into the cooked teff and mix well. Serve warm.

How to offer

Serve warm. Figs are naturally sweet and rich in fibre, making this a nourishing and gently digestive breakfast.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Freeze the plain teff for up to 1 month.
