On a cold winter morning I can’t imagine anything better than a warm breakfast. When it is storming or raining outside the day starts just right with a warm bowl of porridge.
A porridge has many advantages. It is prepared rapidly, keeps you full for a couple of hours and it is very healthy. And also you can take it with you to work.
The classic porridge is made from rolled oats, water and a dash of salt. The mush is cooked on low heat while stirring constantly and is served with fresh fruit or fruit purées.
Today I decided to use blueberries which I cooked along with the oats. This way they not only sweeten the mush, but turn it into a wonderful purple colored porridge. To decorate the porridge I used also blueberries, orange slices and hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are rich in fat, but also contain lots of protein. I recommend you buy them hulled, since the husks are very hard and don’t chew very nice.
I don’t like to buy fruit that is out of the season. Not only the quality suffers (when you have ever eaten a strawberry in winter you know, what I mean), but it is expensive and it stresses the environment. And also: Isn’t it nice to wait for strawberry, cherry, pumpkin or asparagus season?
That’s why I used frozen blueberries in this recipe. Those taste very good and they make the porridge purple, which looks really nice.
Have fun cooking and enjoy your breakfast!
Love,
Rina
