How To Cook Sorghum In Pressure Cooker

The "grains" are springy, the zucchini melts down into a cream with little bright spots of sundried tomatoes go along things exciting. Sorghum is the world'due south well-nigh-grown crop that you probably never heard of – it ranks fourth after wheat, rice, and corn.

Also known every bit "milo" and "large millet", sorghum is a seed with the intact outer coating similar quinoa and looks very like to the dotted spheres of millet. Simply the similarities stop there considering sorghum contains v times the cobweb, over twice the protein and vi times the fe of millet. Sorghum is primarily grown equally animal feed in industrialized nations – merely it's a substitute for grains in parts of the world, such as Africa, where there is non enough water to grow wheat, corn or rice. In fact, this "lowly" grain-substitute that'south packed with nutrients is slated to become the crop of the time to come. That'south considering sorghum is both heat and drought-tolerant, does not demand irrigation or fertilization, and is not picky nearly soil type.

Sorghum is the "whole grain" everyone should try because of its fragile un-obtrusive flavor and springy grains.

Sorgotto?

As far every bit I know, this is really the first "Sorgo Risotto" that's ever been made. So when I started playing around with this grain I wasn't completely convinced that this recipe was a good thought.

But sorghum'due south flavor is quite neutral and information technology does remain a lovely al dente (springy) texture afterward cooking and then a risotto did not seem completely out of the question. Besides, Italy already has a history of adapting different grains, such as barley and farro, to the risotto technique so at least I wasn't navigating to a completely new territory. You tin try these alternating grain risottos in my cookbook, "Hip Force per unit area Cooking: Fast, Fresh & Flavorful", you'll find "Orzotto" and "Farotto" on page146.
