Ten Ways: Teff Recipes
posted by Mighty Staff
Teff packs a nutritional punch, and a serious one at that. Many believe Ethiopian runners owe their dominance in the long-distance running field to this tiny native African grain. And although many people have heard of teff, they often have no idea what to do with it. That's going to change - here are ten teff recipes we'd like to highlight.
For starters, you can buy teff as a miniscule whole grain, or as a flour - teff is gluten-free for those of you with allergies.
The grain used many different ways. Many Americans are familiar with one of its traditional Ethiopian uses - injera. This spongy, pancake-like bread has a consistency somewhere between a flatbread and a spongy crepe. I've also seen the teff grain used much like a baked
polenta, cut into wedges or into smaller squares that can be used as 'croutons' in soups and salads.
Like to bake quick breads, tarts, or galettes? Teff flour can be used as a substitute in baked goods and pancakes, quick breads, waffles, and
the like. Remember, it has no
substituting 25% teff flour, and then go from there.
Look for teff in your local natural foods store, or mail order it from The Teff Company. Photograph taken by Owen Barder while cycling through Ethiopia.
