Porridge

[david44]

As the cold mornings refreshingly arrive time to get me oats.
An American explained that steel cut are superior!


I shall leave technique and pot stirring to begbie Dirk Diggler and fellow Caledonian excess, Suffice to say you twiddle yer spurtle, a mini cricket bat for the jock strapped and tartanly handicapped.

As a schoolboy it was standard fare , quick cheap filling with a blob if jam of lucky. A pal in Wales still eats it daily regardless of weather, he is the closest man I have ever met to a barrel.

Here's a recipe I'll toss in and over to you if you have comments chuck 'em around.

• Put 50g porridge oats in a saucepan, pour in 350ml milk or water and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring from time to time and watching carefully that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
• step 2
  
  Or you can try this in a microwave. Mix the porridge oats, milk or water and a pinch of salt in a large microwaveproof bowl, then microwave on High for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before eating.
• step 3
  
  To serve, pour into bowls, spoon Greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk, or jam, I particularly like French Bon Maman Black Cherry on top or for the camomile tea set drizzle with honey.Feed to dog.
  
  Yum Yum, soak pot immediatly to ease cleansing, nobody wants a sticky bottom.
