Caramelised Plum Porridge
Everyone has their own way of making porridge so I have no intention of stepping on anyone's toes here - this is just how I do it (aka the most simple, lazy way).
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1-2 plums depending on size
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- 35 g (⅓ cup) porridge oats
- 240 ml (1 cup) water
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut the plums into wedges (depending on size). Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once it's sizzling add the honey and plum slices and toss them around to coat evenly. Leave to bubble for a few seconds, then fry, moving the plum slices around and to amalgamate the butter and honey. Cook the plums for 2 minutes then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cinnamon.
- Combine the oats, water and salt in a saucepan and set it over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and the oats will start thickening. Stir as it bubbles and thickens for around 2-3 minutes until the oats are cooked through.
- Pour the porridge into a bowl and top with the caramelised plums.
