Porridge the fuel to keep us going through the day....but why oh why is it so temperamental?! Either it ends up too dry and turns into cement like mixture or its over runny and more like a oaty soup then a thick creamy dish.
Ive done a Buckwheat Porridge Recipe (which I absolutely love at the moment). Hopefully my method should mean that we will always end up with that creamy porridge with a perfect consistency.
Buckwheat Porridge (seves 2)
- 60 g Buckwheat
- 220ml dairy free milk (almond, coconut, soya)
- 100ml water
Toppings
- Handful Blueberries
- Hemp Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Flaxseeds
- Pine Nuts
Method
Soak the buckwheat in water overnight, this softens it up for the morning and makes it so much quicker for when your in a rush! Drain the water off and place in a pan with the dairy free milk/water and gently simmer for 10mins, stir occasionally to make sure non of the mixture sticks to the pan. If the temperature is too high the liquid might evaporate quickly and you'll need to add more! After 10mins the buckwheat should absorb the liquid and expanded into a creamy mixture. If you find you do have a bit to much liquid left, turn the heat up slightly and stir to make sure the buckwheat doesn't catch and burn.
Take off the hob and split between 2 bowls and I tend to top mine with fresh blueberries, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds and pine nuts. No need for added sweetness the blueberries should give you enough!
