Coconut porridge with caramelised pineapple
Background
Porridge is probably the healthiest breakfast, but it can be quite boring day after day, so I try to jazz it up at the weekend with different sauces and toppings. This coconut porridge with caramelised pineapple is vegan, gluten-free and really yummy. You can use other nuts, if preferred.
Ingredients
- 50g rolled porridge oats (gluten-free, if needed)
- 350 ml fresh coconut milk (not from tin)
- 3 Tbsp shredded coconut
- Β½ pineapple
- 1 handful pecan nuts
- 2 Tbsp maple or agave syrup
- To serve: more agave/maple syrup
Instructions
- Put the porridge and coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes over low heat. It should be creamy, so add a little more coconut milk, if needed.
- Turn off the heat, stir in two-thirds of the shredded coconut, then put a lid on and rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the pineapple, and cut half of it into 1 cm rings (use the other half for other recipes). Using an apple corer, push out the middle, woody part.
- Put the pineapple rings in a non-stick pan, add a drop of lemon juice and half of the agave syrup. Caramelize them for about 5 minutes, then turn them over. Scatter the nuts around the pineapple pieces and drizzle more agave on top.
- When the pineapple is golden, the nuts are sticky β transfer them to a plate.
- Spoon the porridge into bowls, scatter the remaining coconut on top, then add the caramelized pineapple slices and pecan nuts. Drizzle more agave/maple syrup on top if you like.
