Instructions

Combine the rinsed sorghum, 3 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer, cover, and cook until the sorghum is tender and chewy with no hard center, 50–55 minutes. Drain any remaining water and return the sorghum to the pan.
