Friday, March 3, 2006 - Food Friday: Porridge |
Porridge sounds bland and old-fashioned, doesn't it? Not a very fancy
name. Maybe I should think of a new name...hmmm...I'm drawing a blank.
Anyone have any ideas?
I started making porridge for my children for breakfast last fall, and
we have it at least twice a week now. Here's how I make mine (based on
the Nourishing Traditions recipe):
Stir together and allow to soak overnight (or at least seven hours), covered:
2 c. warm water
1/4 c. whey
2 c. oatmeal
In the morning, bring 2 more cups of water to boiling in a medium-sized
saucepan. Add oatmeal mixture, stir and cook until thickened and
bubbling (about 4 minutes or so).
After it's cooked, here is what I add:
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
Plenty of honey (I never measure it, so I don't know how much)
After dishing it out into bowls, I add:
1 small spoon of coconut oil
Fresh goat's milk
I know this is pretty much the same as regular oatmeal, but soaking it
ahead of time makes it more healthful. It also changes the consistency
a little (mushier). And it gives me something good to use my whey for
after I make cream cheese. Personally, I think that adding the butter
and coconut oil make a huge difference in porridge. Much more tasty and
filling with all the FAT.

Friday, March 3, 2006 - Oatmeal |

| I was raised to call it oatmeal, as that was what was used. My granddaughters like calling it porridge, because that's what they called it in the 'old days.' But I just have 2ce as much water as oatmeal and cook it for 10 minutes ... never have soaked it! |
