For the Porridge
- 1 cup brown rice washed
- 1 can Chantal Organics coconut milk
- boiling water
- 3 Jazz apples 2 pealed, cored and cubed,1 sliced thinly to garnish
- 8 feijoas 4 skin removed and cubed, 4 sliced thinly to garnish
- 8 dried dates roughly chopped
- 1 cinnamon quill
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 tbsp honey
For the Pecans
- pecans
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 pinch salt
Bring the coconut milk, cinnamon quill and vanilla pod (slit lengthway with a sharp knife and scrape the seeds in as well as the pod) to a gentle simmer in a heavy based saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the brown rice, cubed feijoa and apples, chopped dates, and simmer until brown rice is completely cooked through and you have a creamy texture - roughly 20-30 minutes. Add boiling water at any point to thin out consistency.
In a fry pan over a high heat, toast the pecans in a little honey and salt until golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once porridge is cooked, taste and add honey if necessary.
Top with fresh feijoa, apple slices and honey salted pecans.
