Breakfast: Coconut Porriage

My friend Bronwyn took this recipe back with her from India. Over there they use coconut cream to make the porriage, in a squeeze dessicated coconut does the job and it keeps well in the cupboard. I like to make it ahead of time and steep it overnight.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup porriage oats

2 tspn dessicated coconut

1 cup water

Method:

Put all the ingredients in a cereal bowl and mix. If you can, let it stand overnight. Put it in the microwave for approximately 2 mins. Remember to allow one minute standing time after you take it out of the microwave.

The Good News:

Oats are a good source of many nutrients including vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium. Oats are also a good source of protein.
