When my holiday finished, I had to rampage through my sister’s pantry and take everything I could carry!! Her and her husband are farmers even though they live in the city. Last year they had tonnes and tonnes of maize. They had to take some of it to GMB because the harvest was bountiful. The other year they did groundnuts (peanuts) and harvested bags and bags of nuts. My sister ended up making homemade peanut butter and began selling it… Anyway I found this millet meal in her pantry ,unfortunately my luggage had gone way over, so I had to leave some stuff behind. That moment when you end up leaving clothes and shoes just to fit in your home grown goodies😂😃….. Decided to make Zviyo porridge this morning.Hope you will try out the recipe.
