buckwheat porridge

Posted Jan 05 2010 12:00am
the first new recipe of the year , because i was absolutely sure that it wouldn't fail and would taste absolutely scrumptious. plus i found a packet of organic buckwheat at waitrose for only 99p so I thought it wouldn't matter so much if it went horrendously wrong.

then i went on a mad mission all around the internet to find somewhere that would give me a buckwheat porridge recipe, and i found two main types: the soak and process or the boil. and because i don't have a food processor (at least not at the moment) i went with the boiling method! i was convinced after i saw this beautiful breakfast photograph of it, and so this is the recipe i went with.

for 2 people
  • take 1/2 cup buckwheat groats and soak overnight, or for at least 20 minutes



  • once soaked, drain off the liquid and rinse well. then add the groats and 1 cup of water to a saucepan. add your chosen spices and dried fruits, i used 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, a couple drops of vanilla extract and a 1/4 cup organic sultanas.




  • lay the table all nicely so you can really appreciate your breakfast, no matter how early it is or groggy you feel




  • boil until all the water has gone, and it looks like this



  • serve with sliced fresh banana, organic soya milk, honey and a cup of green tea with lemon



i would definitely give this recipe a massive 5 stars because we've had it every morning since!!

ps. 1 down, 51 to go!
pps. check out other healthy breakfast recipes !
