MILLET PORRIDGE

Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this.

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Breakfast

Time 27m

Yield Serves 6 (3 breakfasts for two people)

Number Of Ingredients 6

340g millet
1 litre unsweetened fortified almond milk, plus extra to serve
few mint leaves, to serve
90g pitted dates, finely chopped
500g frozen mixed fruit (ours was a mixed bag of berries, cherries, currants and strawberries)
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • For the compote, put the dates in a pan with 150ml water, bring to the boil and stir well so they break down. Tip in the frozen fruit and cinnamon stick and cook over a medium heat, stirring every now and then for a couple of minutes. Don't worry about fully thawing larger fruits, as they will defrost in the residual heat and retain their shape in the compote (if you have large strawberries in the mix, you can halve these as they soften). Leave to cool. Will then keep chilled for up to four days.
  • Rinse the millet in a sieve, then tip into a deep, heavy-based saucepan and pour in the almond milk and 350ml water. Put over a low heat and once bubbling, leave to simmer for 10-12 mins, stirring frequently until the millet grains are tender, but nutty.
  • Serve a third of the porridge with a third of the compote, between two people, on the first day of the Healthy Diet Plan. Add a little extra almond milk to serve with a few mint leaves scattered over. Chill the remainder for the subsequent two days. Will keep covered and chilled for up to four days. To serve on another day, reheat portions of the porridge in a pan with extra almond milk or water to loosen. Serve with the chilled compote.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of millets: Different millets have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your porridge a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Soak the millets overnight: This will help to soften them and make them more digestible.
  • Cook the millets in a flavorful liquid: Water is fine, but using a milk or broth will add more flavor to the porridge.
  • Add fruits and nuts: These will add sweetness, crunch, and flavor to the porridge.
  • Sweeten the porridge to taste: You can use honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener.
  • Serve the porridge warm: This is when it is at its best.
