Topped with delicious Cranberry & Apple Compote
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
100g Flahavan’s Rolled Oats
300ml Flahavan’s Vitamin Rich Oat Drink
150ml Water
1 crisp Apple, coarsely grated
40g dried Cranberries
Zest of ½ Orange
2-3 tbsp fresh Orange Juice
1–2 tsp Honey, to taste
1 tsp (5g) Butter
Pinch of Salt
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Ground Ginger
Pinch of Nutmed
2 tbsp chopped Walnuts or Pecans
APPLE & CRANBERRY COMPOTE:
250g Apple, peeled, cored and chopped
100g frozen Cranberries
Juice of 1 Orange — roughly 60–80ml
20–25g Sugar — about 1½–2 tablespoons
2–3 tablespoons Water
* Optional: a small pinch of Cinnamon
METHOD:
To make the compote:
Put the apple, cranberries, orange juice, 20g sugar and 2 tablespoons of water into a small saucepan.
Bring gently to a simmer, cover and cook over low–medium heat for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the apple completely soft and the cranberries to burst.
Taste and adjust sweetness with sugar to taste as cranberries can be quite sharp.
Take it off the heat, allow to cool for a few minutes and blitz until smooth, with a stick blender. If it’s thicker than you’d like, blitz in a tablespoon or two of water or orange juice.
Once cooled, refrigerate.
To make the Cranberry, Apple & Orange Porridge:
Put the rolled oats, oat drink, water, apple, cranberries, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt into a saucepan.
Cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy.
Add the orange zest and juice and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
Remove from the heat and stir through the butter and honey until melted.
Swirl the compote through the hot porridge. Enjoy.
