Pistachio and Raspberry Porridge

If the colour of this porridge doesn’t wake you up in the morning, then the flavours will. Earthy, creamy and zingy all at once.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Porridge

• 20g pistachios

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup water

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. Place the pistachios in a food processor or strong blender and pulse until they turn into a powder.

2. Mix the pistachio powder with the remaining the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.

3. Top with yoghurt, raspberries and pistachios.

Notes and substitutions:

• Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.

• Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.

• Fruit: fresh or frozen both work.
