Classic Sunday fare
Apr. 2nd, 2006 09:05 amAfter extensive experimentation — well I was, once upon a time, a scientist — I've finally come up with a really cracking porridge recipe, perfect for those idle Sunday mornings.
Basically, you take a volume of oat meal (probably around a cup) and volume plus a half of liquid (best with half and half milk and water — yeah, I know you can use water on its own, but then the result ends up tasting like wallpaper paste so treat yourself: use milk or soya) and put them in a pan. To this, you add a sliced banana and put the thing over a low heat for a fair old while.
Once everything finally begins to thicken, add a good whack of cinnamon and just enough ginger to cut through the sweetness. Then, when it's finally done, you take it off the heat and let it stand for a few minutes and, presto, perfecto banana porridge.
