Spiced Buckwheat Porridge with Poached Pears // #foodphotography and a delicious recipe
Happy Wednesday guys!
...
Not long to go and it'll be Saturday. Time to breathe out and enjoy some much-needed chill time. I'm especially excited for my upcoming trip to Paris over the weekend, which is bound to be an adventure! Anyway, I thought I'd share this delicious recipe from the archives of my blog Taste & See. Honestly, sometimes the most simple combination of ingredients and recipes are best. No complicated preparation instructions, no weird and wonderful ingredients, and no need for expensive kitchen equipment.
Only 5 ingredients needed
Seriously, this recipe only requires 5 simple ingredients to prepare:
- Coconut milk
- Buckwheat
- Honey
- Pears
- Cinnamon
Recipe
Serves 1
Ingredients
For the porridge:
1/4 cup buckwheat groats, hulled
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water (plus extra as needed)
1 tsp cinnamon
1-2 Tbsp honey
For the poached pears:
1 pear
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon
Water (as needed to cover the bottom of your small pot)
Method:
For the buckwheat porridge:
- Soak the buckwheat groats overnight in enough water to cover them. In the morning drain, rinse thoroughly, and add to your blender.
- Add the coconut milk, water, and cinnamon to the blender, and blend until the mixture becomes nice and smooth.
- Pour the porridge mixture into a small pot over a medium heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the porridge thickens nicely. Add in the honey, and stir to combine.
- Serve with poached pear halves.
For the poached pears:
- Peel the pear, halve, and remove the core. Place into a small pot or saucepan along with water to cover the bottom of the pot, the honey, and some cinnamon.
- Cover and bring the water to a simmer. Simmer the pear for 15-20 minutes, turning every now and then to ensure even poaching.
That's five simple recipes to goodness! :)
Is there a substitute that works well if you cannot get pears? Apples maybe?
Also, loving the format of your blog post.
Hi there @travelling-two :)
Thanks for your kind words! I thought it's best to work on my format a bit haha.
Apples should work just fine! I love using more tart varieties like Granny Smith or Pink Lady, but you can use any apples you like.
Good! Keep it up and we will give this a try as we have all the ingredients here in Bangkok, but pears can be expensive (imported) or maybe we can use Chinese pears or the apples as you suggest.
really like it! have to try the next days =)
