Fonio Breakfast Porridge - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup walnuts
    1/4 cup almonds
    2 cups water
    1 cup fonio grains
    4 dates, pitted and chopped
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup dried cranberries
    1/2 cup fresh blueberries
    6 tablespoons milk
    6 tablespoons shredded coconut
    6 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preparation
    Toast walnuts and almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, 4 to 5 minutes. Chop into big pieces and set aside.
    Pour water and fonio into a medium saucepan. Stir to eliminate any lumps. Add dates. Bring to a low boil, stirring often while crushing the date pieces. Reduce heat to a simmer when dates begin to dissolve. Add 1 cup milk, raisins, and cranberries. Continue to simmer, stirring often, until fonio absorbs all the liquid, about 8 minutes.
    Divide the porridge into 6 bowls. Serve topped with equal amounts of toasted nuts, blueberries, 6 tablespoons milk, coconut, and cinnamon.
