Fonio is the finest-grained of all African forms of millet. It is used extensively in Senegalese and Burkinabé cuisine. Here it's used whole to form the grain base for the fritters. Though this dish can be cooked traditionally, this recipe is an example of a modern adaptation of traditional cookery as the fonio is prepared in a microwave.
Ingredients:
200g fonio
100g oat flakes
3 eggs
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, scraped and grated
75g cheese, grated
2 tbsp nut oil (groundnut oil or hazelnut oil)
1 generous handful of chopped parsley
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Combine the fonio and oat flakes in a bowl. Pour over 400ml water then transfer to a microwave and cook on full power for 4 minutes.
Stir the onion and carrot into the hot grains then stir in the grated cheese and beat in the eggs and parsley. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Heat the nut oil in a non-stick frying pan. Take a tablespoon of the vegetable batter mix. Drop this in the frying pan and spread out with the back of the spoon.
Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until the patties are nicely browned all over. Serve hot, accompanied by a green salad.
