Porridge Recipe

Porridge









This is a recipe for yummy porridge. It is best to soak it overnight, because oats become more digestible having been soaked.

2 cups oats
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
juice of one lemon
4 cups water
1 tsp. sea salt

Combine oats, coconut, lemon and water in a medium pot. Stir to combine. Let ingredients soak overnight. In the morning, add salt and cook on medium high heat stirring regularly (unless you want smoked porridge!).

Serve with crushed nuts, dried or fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, honey, and whatever appeals to you. Very filling and nutritious. Around here, six hungry children eat it every Tuesday morning!

Enjoy!

This recipe is inspired by the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
