After yesterday's post I was determined I was going to try and improve on the porridge and water meal. I had another dish of it for supper and the tiny drop of golden syrup vastly improved it but also the last few mouthfuls were better as they were creamier. So off I went to the google box in search of a way to improve it.
I had no idea that porridge was so complex, the varies types of oats, types and quantities of liquid, methods of soaking and toppings. I read pages and pages of people's 'perfect porridge' every one is different but apparently every one is perfect.
So started with soaking the oats, seemed the easiest thing to do. Added enough cold water to cover and left overnight.This morning they had mushed up a bit and following more google advice, I rinsed them before adding them to a pan with a bit more water and cooked until the rest of the water absorbed and do you know what.........it was more palatable. I even added a pinch of salt to mine and it did take the edge of the blandness but I do believe I could get used to my porridge like this.
Who would have thought it?
