semolina porridge

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 17 g oat flakes, e.g. 4 g fine and 13 g whole
• 7 g soft wheat semolina
• 4 g chia seeds
• 6 g flaxseed
• 100 ml water
• 50 ml almond milk, unsweetened or other plant-based alternative
• 50 ml skimmed milk, 1.5% fat

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Weigh the chia seeds, flax seeds, oats, and semolina into a saucepan. Measure the almond milk, skimmed milk, and water into a measuring jug (I always do this all at once, so it makes 200 ml of liquid). Pour the liquid into the saucepan with the other ingredients, place it on the stove, and stir. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently at the beginning and end. The chia seeds tend to clump, especially at the beginning, and you’ll notice it’s solid at the end. When the desired porridge consistency (similar to semolina porridge) is reached, remove the pan from the heat and pour the porridge into a bowl. Ideal for breakfast, to go, or as an afternoon snack. It tastes good warm or cold (I find it better warm). Cold, it has a consistency similar to pudding. Tips: Top with fruit and perhaps granola or something similar. While the semolina porridge is cooking, you can prepare your desired fruit and any other topping you like. Add an apple and a few tablespoons of applesauce. You can also add ginger to the mix. Orange and/or tangerine and a spoonful of honey. Bananas and strawberries. Raspberries or wild berries and chocolate shavings. Fruit salad. Your imagination is the limit. If you don’t have any plant-based drinks on hand or don’t like water, you can simply substitute it. The important thing is that you use 200 ml of liquid. How you distribute the oats is also up to you. The more finely ground oats you use, the more mushy it will be. Note: The times given are only estimates, as I always prepare it by feel and depending on how long it takes to cut the fruit.
