Food anthropologist, author, chef and commentator Dr Anna Trapido is not a fan of quinoa, as widely touted as it is. When it comes to ancient grains, she much prefers Africa’s own sorghum.

She makes these tasty sorghum flapjacks, the recipe for which was also from the 2016 World Gourmand Cookbook wining book, Eat Ting.

They’re warm, inviting and delicious. Sorghum is a great gluten-free grain alternative. It is a nutritionally dense grain with a higher content of protein, iron and various other vitamins compared to the celebrated quinoa.

Sorghum Flapjacks (from Eat Ting)

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups fine sorghum meal (mabele)

1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 egg

2 tbs melted butter

1 cup amasi

METHOD:

  1. Combine all dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients.
  3. Add wet into dry and mix well.
  4. Lightly grease then heat a frying pan to a medium heat.
  5. Drop tablespoons of mixture into the pan. When one side is golden brown, flip the flapjack and cook the other side – about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Serve with amasi curds and/or honey or jam. Or indeed anything else you like.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 12 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
