Porridge

Porridge

When it is a chilly morning or when Molly is not feeling well, this is one of her favorite comfort foods. It is also very low in phe but high in calories so it is perfect when we are trying to bring levels down. The cooking time might vary depending upon how finely ground your porridge is, so taste after a few minutes and see if there are any hard bits remaining. You can play here and add the flavors you or your loved ones like. If you have the phe to spare, add one (15mg extra) to two tablespoons (30 mg extra) of heavy cream right before serving.

Ingredients
  

Primary Ingredient Group
  • 2 tablespoons Apples finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
New Group
  • 1/2 cup Rice Milk
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk Beverage, Original
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Porridge, or low protein pasta in blender (see above)
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground

Method
 

  1. Heat a non stick skillet over a medium heat. Add butter. Once melted, add diced apple and sauté for three minutes.
  2. Add ½ cup of the rice milk, coconut drink and salt to the pan and bring to a boil. Whisk in the porridge. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until nice and soft and thickened, about 6 minutes. Add maple syrup, cinnamon and the additional ¼ cup of rice milk if necessary for desired thickness.

Notes

You can use whatever low protein porridge you have or just grind low protein pasta in your blender until it is pulverized to almost a powder (Thanks Lynn from Cambrooke for this tip!).
Reader Q&A:
Q: Hi! Do you know if the aproten pasta will work for this recipe? And how fine does it need to be ground up? Thank you! A: That is the brand we always use. It is ground up to look slightly coarser than corn meal.
Brenda

Q: This might be a silly question, but should the pasta be cooked or uncooked? Thank you! A: Uncooked
