Semolina porridge with berries and nuts is a comforting and nutritious breakfast option that's both creamy and flavorful. Here's a simple recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup semolina (also known as cream of wheat)
- 2 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 1/4 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: additional berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions:
-
Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer.
-
Add Semolina: Gradually whisk in the semolina, making sure to stir continuously to prevent lumps.
-
Cook the Porridge: Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the porridge thickens and the semolina is fully cooked.
-
Add Sweetener and Flavor: Stir in honey or maple syrup to sweeten the porridge, and add vanilla extract if using. Mix well.
-
Incorporate Berries and Nuts: Gently fold in the berries and nuts. If using frozen berries, you can let them warm through in the porridge for a few minutes.
-
Serve: Spoon the porridge into bowls. You can add extra berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top if desired.
-
Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, nutty, and fruity semolina porridge!
This recipe is highly customizable. Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener and toppings based on your preferences. You can also try adding a spoonful of yogurt or a drizzle of nut butter for extra richness.
