Cooking with Grains

[ElsieD]

@kayb  your post sent me off to do a bit of reading about sorghum.  Looks like an interesting grain.  It says you can pop it like popcorn.  Have you ever tried this?

@ElsieD speaking of popping grains...try wild rice.

I have not. The sorghum I cooked last week was the first I'd ever cooked. After a dismal experience at trying to pop quinoa, I'm not certain I even want to try sorghum. But I did see several recipes with the popped variety.

 

Lots of recipes and info at this site.

What's THAT like?

They are fun.  Well, if you get it right they are crunchy and tender.  Get wrong and be prepared to go to the dentist.  I have played with them a few times after a chef friend told me about  them.
