TEFF SEED COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Method 1: Microwave Cooking (Quick & Simple)
Cooking teff seeds in the microwave is our preferred method! This method reduces the starchiness of the seed and will create a light fluffy texture, similar to that of couscous. Best cooked in the microwave when using teff seeds in salads or as a rice replacement.
Follow these 4 simple steps:
-
Add 1 cup of teff seed into a microwaveable bowl/container.
-
Add 2 cups of boiling water.
-
With the lid off, microwave for approx. 10 minutes or until all liquid has been absorbed (no need to stir halfway through).
-
Remove from microwave and use a folk to ‘fluff up’ and separate the teff seeds. Let cool for approx. 5 mins and fluff up a second time whilst still hot to get the best result.
-
Place in the fridge to cool for use in salads or serve hot with your meal.
