Spicy Sweet Brown Rice Porridge



Both delicious & nutritious and a perfect start for cold winter mornings…
Works best with pre-cooked brown rice. I cook 2 cups of pre-soaked medium grain brown rice with 5 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a rice cooker until ready. Then store in refrigerator. This usually makes 2-3 breakfast meals

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

2 cups pre-cooked brown rice
2-3 cups of water (depending on how soupy you like it!)
1 inch knob of fresh ginger grated
zest of one lemon or orange
1 stick cinnamon
handful of assorted dried fruits & nuts including: sultanas, cranberries, pitted prunes, goji berries, dates,  pepitas, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds

Cook on low heat for approximately 15-20 minutes stirring often so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Serve with tahini, yoghurt, chopped fresh fruit such as; banana, pear, passion fruit, fresh berries and honey if desired. 

Even the most discerning kids will love it!
