Power Porridge Recipe
Prep and cooking time: 30 min
Ingredients:
juice of 1 coconut
2 cups creamy porridge mix
½ cup wholemeal oats
½ cup dried mango, thinly sliced
2 tbsp quinoa
2 tbsp chia seeds
3 cardamom pods, seeds removed
700ml milk
300ml coconut cream
1 cup apple juice
Porridge Topping
flesh of ¼ coconut
½ cup dried mango, thinly sliced
1 x 400g can mango pieces, drained and sliced
½ cup unsalted pistachios, coarsely crushed
100ml coconut cream
Method:
To prepare coconut, use a sharp instrument such as a nail to punch out 3 holes. Drain coconut juice.
In a large saucepan, combine all dry ingredients. Add a pinch of salt. Cover with liquid ingredients and cook over a low heat until porridge is creamy and thick and begins to bubble. Allow to cool, then divide porridge between 4 small bowls. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make porridge topping, roast drained coconut over an open flame until coconut shell splits. Allow to cool, then peel off shell to get at toasted coconut flesh inside.
Using a peeler, shave off curls of flesh and toast under the grill or in a hot oven until golden and fragrant.
Layer all remaining ingredients and toasted coconut over chilled porridge and serve.
