Teff?

Does anyone cook with teff? I read a while ago that it's the 'new quinoa', but hadn't seen it in a store until today. I didn't buy it because I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it. The grains were really tiny so it looked like it would cook up to be a bit porridgey, so I wondered if it might make a good substitute for mashed potatoes. Anyone know what the flavour's like?
Thanks for any input.

I like to toast it in the pan a little before I cook it. Then I cook it with cinnamon and dates. It's great for breakfast on a cold morning.0

Oh, it tastes like cream of wheat's dark smoky brother.
I haven't tried using it as a rice or potato substitute though.0 -

By itself, it goes well with nut butters or maple.
But my favorite is to use to to make the Ethiopian flat bread, injera - you ferment the teff for a few days before making it, and it makes a thin, flexible flatbread the texture of a crepe and the flavor of sourdough, a bit, to wrap around savory meat and lentil dishes. Really awesome.0 -
