In a teapot or pot, bring water to a boil. Put fonio in a small bowl and then carefully pour in hot water. Cover with a well-fitting lid or plastic wrap. Let sit until all liquid is absorbed (about 5-10 minutes). Do not remove cover for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with additional salt to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
If your fonio is too dry, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water and cover for another minute.
