Vegetarian Sorghum Pilaf

Ancient Grain Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Sorghum
• 2 cups water
• ¼ minced onion (medium-sized)
• 2 garlic cloves minced (medium-sized)
• 2 tbs olive oil
• ½ cup Whole Kernel sweet corn
• ½ cup diced red pepper
• ½ cup diced green pepper
• ½ finely minced serrano pepper (medium-sized)
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• ¼ Cup diced tomato
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp lemon pepper

Method:

• In a large pot (or rice cooker), combine water, sorghum and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender- adding extra water if necessary. About 50 minutes of cooking time.
• Using a medium-sized pot, start sautéing the minced garlic and onions in olive oil. Add the corn, all peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, salt, and lemon pepper. Continue sautéing (to remove water) for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
• Add cooked sorghum into the pot and stir gently to combine all ingredients. Cook for an additional 10 minutes on low-medium heat.
