Millet and fruit porridge

What you’ll need:

• 1 cup millet
• 2 cups of water
• 1 small apple or pear
• 5ml almond oil
• 2tsp raisins
• 2tsp dates
• 2 pinches salt
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Almond flakes
• Sesame seeds

Method:

• Rinse millet well and add to pot
• Peel apple or pear, cut into small pieces and add to pot, with raisins, dates, salt and cinnamon.
• Add water to pot and bring to a rapid boil, once boiling reduce to a low heat and allow to simmer.
• Cook until all the water has been evaporated.
• Leave the porridge in the pot and make it smooth and creamy with a stick blender.
• Sprinkle with toasted almond flakes and/or toasted sesame seeds.
• Try a squeeze of fresh lemon for an extra bust of freshness and a sweet and sour contrast.
• Delicious hot or cold!

Chef’s Tip:
You can choose how sweet you would like it by adding more or less raisins or dates. Oil also softens the taste, so add some good oil to this porridge – if you don’t have almond oil, a good olive oil is great too.
