Steamed Fonio with Okra

Rinse the fonio thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear, removing any dust or debris.

Bring 2 litres of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.

Add the rinsed fonio to the boiling water and stir well to separate the grains.

Reduce heat to medium and allow the fonio to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Trim the okra and cut it into bite-sized pieces, discarding any tough stems.

Add the okra pieces to the fonio and stir gently to combine.

Continue cooking until the fonio is tender and the okra is soft, approximately 8-10 minutes.

Transfer the steamed fonio and okra to a serving dish, breaking up any clumps with a fork.

Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
