1 medium apple
1 medium pear
1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon of ghee
1 pinch of sea or rock salt
Herbs:
1/4 tsp of dried peppermint leaves
1/4 tsp of dried rose leaves
Spices:
1/4 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp of turmeric
1 cup of rolled oats
2 cups of water or quality oatmilk
Optional: sprinkle of poppy seeds to serve
METHOD
-
Peel the fruit if the skin is thick/tough and cut them into cubes. Heat the ghee and saute the fruit for a minute or two. Add the herbs, spices, sweetener of your choice (except honey), salt and water. Simmer for about 15 minutes on a medium flame adding a splash more water if necessary.
-
Meanwhile, in another pot, add the ghee and roast the oats for 2 minutes at medium temperature. Add the oat milk and boil for 5 minutes, then add turmeric and simmer with the lid on at low temperature for 2 more minutes, adding more milk if necessary until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
-
Divide the porridge between 2 bowls, spoon over the fruit, pour over the remaining liquid and serve immediately.
East by West tip: cook with only apples or only pears if you like, peaches and cherries in summer are deliciously prepared like this!
