Hi everyone,
I got the basic idea for this porridge from the Chinese-Style Porridge recipe in EDC, so I have called it Amy-Style Porridge
I have also made variations on my variation, so I have listed my favourite variation in the recipe, and the others are below under variations.
Amy-Style PorridgeServes 2-3Ingredients:20g raw buckwheat
20g red quinoa
10g slivered almonds
10g chia seeds
35g wholegrain rolled oats
200ml milk
300ml water
1 banana
Small splash milk, etra
Desired toppings, such as yoghurt
Method:1. Add buckwheat, quinoa, almonds and chia seeds to TM bowl. Grind for 30 seconds/speed 9. (I hold a tea-towel over the lid to stop little bits flicking out everywhere.)
2. Add oats, milk and water. Cook for 10 minutes/90 degrees/reverse + speed 2-3.
3. Add banana and the extra splash of milk. Mix for 20 seconds/speed 2-3.
4. Pour into serving bowls and add desired toppings. (I like plain vanilla yoghurt.)
Variations:1. Use whole millet instead of red quinoa, raw cashews instead of almonds, and pumpkin seeds instead of chia.
2. Grind oats with first four ingredients to give a smoother consistency. I kept the oats whole to add a bit of texture.
3. Use whole millet instead of buckwheat, walnuts instead of almonds, and sunflower seeds instead of chia.
These are just the variations I have tried and liked. You can substitute any grains or nuts you like and just use the cooking time as a guide.
I will note that I did try using pistachios and they weren't very nice.
