Something uniquely sophisticated…
Breakfast Polenta with Warm Berry Compotefor the compote:
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons honey
dash of ground cinnamon
1 12oz bag of frozen assorted berries
for the polenta:
3 cups 1% low fat milk
1/2 cup quick cooking polenta
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
To prepare the compote, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add honey, juice, cinnamon, and berries–bring to a boil. Reduce heat–simmer 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Keep warm. To prepare polenta, bring milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly add polenta, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in sugar and salt, and cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Serve with compote.
Something hearty…but something anticipating the spring amid the lingering wintery doldrums.
Apricot and Pistachio Breakfast Quinoa1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed, drained (see note)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries * or substitute cherries.
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup pistachio kernels, coarsely chopped
Combine quinoa and 4 cups cold water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in milk, apricot and cranberries. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Stir in sugar. Spoon porridge into bowls. Sprinkle with pistachios. Drizzle with honey. Serve.
Note: Rinse quinoa under cold water until water runs clear. Drain. This removes any outer coating, which has a bitter taste. Quinoa absorbs a lot of liquid. If preferring porridge that’s less thick, add a little extra milk at the end of cooking.
Tip: For a citrusy tang, add the zest of 1 orange to honey before drizzling over porridge.
