The addition of quinoa increases the protein helping to avoid sugar spikes. The mushroom powder and miso paste pack a big punch of nutrients and meaty flavour. The buckwheat and seeds add nutrients and texture, while the sundried tomatoes add a deep tangy taste bringing the dish together.[/vc_column_text][vc_message css=”.vc_custom_1668615410152{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]SERVES: 2-3

Method

  1. Place all ingredients, apart from the liquid, in a saucepan and stir to combine.
  2. Add the liquid and stir to thoroughly mix.
  3. Heat on the hob to a simmer and cook stirring regularly for 10mins until oats are soft and liquid has been absorbed.
  4. If serving with a poached egg and mushroom cook in a separate pans while porridge is cooking.
  5. Serve immediately topped with a soft poached egg and chopped coriander.

Notes

Liquid – ideally use bone broth and some soya or almond milk to make up to 400ml. If you do not have bone broth then use water and milk and add ½tsp vegetable bouillon powder. For the miso paste I used Clearspring white miso soup paste sachet. For the mushroom powder I used Sevenhills 7 mushroom blend. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoyed re-heated within 2-3 days. Alternatively you could use leftovers and make into a bread new recipe – coming soon![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
