A bowl of coconut porridge brings a little warmth to Christmas morning. Make it with a coconut drink intended for beverages, rather than replacing all the liquid with rich canned coconut milk.
Ingredients: serves two
- 100g porridge oats
- 400ml unsweetened coconut drink
- 100ml water, plus more if needed
- A small pinch of ground nutmeg
- One sliced banana
- Two teaspoons of coconut flakes
- Maple syrup to taste, optional
Method
- Put the oats, coconut drink and water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring regularly, and cook for the time on the oats packet.
- Add a small pinch of nutmeg and extra water if needed.
- Divide between bowls and add banana and coconut flakes.
- Taste before adding optional syrup.
A calmer Christmas start
Set out bowls and toppings the night before, then cook the porridge fresh. Keep nutmeg to an ordinary culinary pinch. Check the oat and coconut drink labels for dietary requirements. This is a new breakfast recipe idea inspired by the Caribbean flavours discussed in the K&M guide; it is not a recipe quoted from the book.
