An easy to cook grain. I used Organic Sheep Blue Vein Cheese which imparts a cream full flavour that is light enough to enhance the dish. The Sorghum took me a while to become proficient in preparing (in my first attempt I under cooked it due to being too impatient!) however it is well worth the time it takes. I find it as versatile as Quinoa and Chickpeas and makes a really nice change to rice salads.
