Method

  1. Pour the milk into a small pan and sprinkle in the teff, whisking so it doesn't clump; add the cinnamon and ground ginger.
  2. Bring to the boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often, especially towards the end, until the teff is thick and creamy like soft polenta; add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
  3. Meanwhile stone the dates and chop them small; break the walnuts by hand.
  4. Spoon the porridge into a bowl and top with the dates and walnuts.
