Porridge of the Week #11

Fig, Almond and Rose Water

Category: Flavoured

Tear up the figs, making sure they are very ripe-keep on the skins. Wet the oats with soya milk in a pan with the figs and warm through. Drop in a few drops of rosewater. Start with less, taste, and add more if necassary. Tip in flaked almonds and a handful of california raisins- the huge, juicy kind.
Pour into a bowl and top with a final piece of fig and a sprinkling of extra flaked nuts.

This recipe is all about the flavour! I've recently been rosewater and orange blossom water in everything I cook, so this was agreat excuse. I'd had some leftover figs from a dinner party and Emma's recent Fig and Syrup porridge (a future p.o.t.w?) inspired me to try the flavours together.

Its a very elegant, delicate porridge. The figs are beautiful and the seeds give it a nice crunch. A nice summer months one.

Porridge of the Week.

Welcome to the first of my regular feature- Porridge of the Week!
If there is one strong recurrent theme in my food conversations, it is that of porridge. I have a close band of porridge friends who share this passion, and a wider circle that laugh in my face. I will be broaching the subject of the Perfect Porridge in the near future, but I thought for now I would get the Porridge ball (bowl?) rolling with the first edition of P.O.T.W.

Porridge of the Week #1

Honey, Banana, Cinnamon and Raisin

Category: Flavoured.
Okay, so it's not fancy, but it has literally been my porridge of the week. Its simple, its sweet and its uncomplicated. Who doesn't like sweet and uncomplicated..?

...

P.O.T.W will be divided into either one of three categories; Healthy, Flavoured or Evening. All will be revealed. If you have any recommendations for P.O.T.W that you would like to share, please please do, by leaving a comment. We would really appreciate that! Thanks x
