Coconut Rice Porridge with Quick Chia Jam Recipe by Roz Purcell

A porridge recipe doesn’t always have to mean oats! If you’re fond of rice pudding, you’ll love this breakfast option, which is made just like regular oats. This rice porridge reminds me of my granny’s creamy rice pudding and is the perfect fuel if you have a long day ahead.

Serves 1

Ingredients:

For the rice porridge

– 45g brown or white rice flakes
– 200ml coconut milk

For the quick blueberry chia jam

150g fresh bueberries (raspberries work well too)
1 tbsp chia seeds
– tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp honey or maple syrup

For topping

Desiccated coconut, toasted
– Buckwheat groats or nuts

Method:

Make the blueberry chia jam

1. Put the berries in a bowl and microwave them for 40-60 seconds or place them in a small saucepan and simmer over a medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until the berries have started to break down and release their juices.
2. Mash them with a fork, then stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice and honey.
3. Spoon into a clean jar and pop into the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using to give the chia seeds enough time to swell up and give it a nice jam-like consistency. Stored in the fridge, this jam will last for up to three day.

Make the rice porridge

1. Place the rice flakes and coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5–6 minutes, until you reach your desired porridge consistency.
2.  Spoon into a bowl and serve with a dollop of chia jam and some desiccated coconut, with toasted buckwheat groats or nuts scattered on top.
