PORRIDGE

SWEET RICE PORRIDGE

Steps:

EASY SWEET PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Add rolled oats, water and the 1/2 cup milk in a saucepan.
• Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Test for texture, if you like it with more distinct grains this should be enough. If not, add a little of the extra milk.
• Repeat the test/milk adding once or twice more until the desired consistency. I usually simmer mine for 7 minutes.
• Serve immediately with the golden syrup on top. The syrup should run down the sides of the porridge, almost disappearing from the top so that the porridge 'swims'. Enjoy!

PERFECT PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Put 50g porridge oats in a saucepan, pour in 350ml milk or water and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring from time to time and watching carefully that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Or you can try this in a microwave. Mix the porridge oats, milk or water and a pinch of salt in a large microwaveproof bowl, then microwave on High for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before eating.
• To serve, pour into bowls, spoon Greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk, on top and drizzle with honey.
