THE NATION'S FAVOURITE - PODGY PORRIDGE!



The Nation's Favourite - Podgy Porridge! image

This recipe is one that I have been making for ages at home, however, this particular recipe, is the one that was published in The Nation's Favourite Food cookbook, a poll run by the BBC to "capture" the Nation's best loved and top 100 recipes - the Nation being the Great Britain. Jo Pratt is the author of this recipe, but, I have tweaked a bit here and there, to my own personal tastes! Enjoy a bowl of Podgy Porridge on a cold and wet winter's morning! I have added a Non-Podgy version at the end of the recipe as well!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pints full-fat milk
8 ounces organic jumbo porridge oats
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 fluid ounces single cream
honey or brown sugar, to serve

Steps:

  • Place the milk in a large, non-stick saucepan and bring to the boil. Briskly stir in the oats, honey, cinnamon and salt.
  • Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is cooked, add the cream or milk and stir until heated but not boiling. You will now have lovely, rich, creamy porridge.
  • Spoon the cooked porridge into warm bowls and, for ultimate extravagance, drizzle with lots of sticky golden syrup, honey or sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • NB: If guilt takes over and you don't want to go the whole hog, try a less podgy version of the porridge using skimmed milk. You can add extra milk in place of the cream at the end of the cooking time.

PORRIDGE WITH APPLES



Porridge With Apples image

A recipe we made up while bicycle touring but it would be good while camping or at home too. The apples help make the porridge more interesting when you don't have brown sugar to hand. We have tried adding bananas too but they are best just sliced on top of the porridge, not cooked along with the oats.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups porridge oats (not instant)
3 cups water
1 large apple, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Put the water in a large saucepan and boil.
  • When boiling, pour in the porridge and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • At this point you should really turn the heat down while stirring but if your stove does not simmer so well, then just lift the pot away from the heat for a few seconds periodically.
  • After a minute, put in the apple slices and continue to stir for a further 30-45 seconds.
  • The porridge should be thickening up by this point. If not, keep it on the heat a little longer.
  • Take the pot off the heat, cover the porridge and set aside for a couple minutes.
  • Serve, with any extras you might have to hand like a bit of brown sugar if you are lucky or some honey drizzled over.
  • You could also replace up to half of the water with milk while you are cooking the porridge for a creamier version.
