Sorghum Pilaf<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup uncooked sorghum grain
2 1\/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 cups chicken broth
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
1\/2 cup celery, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 green onions, sliced
1\/3 cup pine nuts or slivered almonds, toasted
1 1\/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved<\/p>\n

Salt to taste<\/p>\n

Dash freshly cracked pepper<\/p>\n

Rinse sorghum kernels and drain thoroughly. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sorghum and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stirring constantly, gently toast sorghum in oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add chicken broth and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes or until broth is absorbed and grain is tender. Drain excess liquid, if necessary; set aside. In large skillet, heat 1 1\/2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery and garlic and saut\u00c3\u00a9 for 3 to 5 minutes until tender crisp. Add green onions, nuts and tomatoes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until nuts begin to toast. Add cooked sorghum and heat through. Season to taste. Transfer to casserole dish or large platter. Garnish with sprigs of parsley and additional toasted nuts. Serve hot. Makes 6 servings.<\/span><\/p>\n
