Instructions
- Rinse the crushed sorghum under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it.
- Lightly dampen the sorghum with a little salted water and spread it in the basket of a steamer or couscoussier.
- Steam for 25 to 30 minutes, adding a little hot water during cooking if the grain looks dry.
- Tip the cooked sorghum into a dish, crumble it with your fingers, mix in the melted butter and sugar, then pour over warm milk and serve straight away.
Variations and tips
Without a steamer. Cook the sorghum in a covered saucepan with twice its volume of water for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring from time to time.
