Porridge (Semolina)
Below is a recipe using semolina, a versatile ingredient that can be used to make porridge. In my childhood, this was often made for me because of its easy-to-eat texture. You can choose what toppings to add, depending on your likes. It doesn’t take long to make and leaves you satiated until your next meal. I had it the other day as a post-exercise meal because semolina is a source of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, B vitamins and iron. If you want to increase the protein content, add in a scoop of your favourite protein powder!
Ingredients:
Porridge
10ml water
1 cup milk (can use dairy alternative also)
4 tbsp semolina
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch sugar
Toppings:
Fresh/frozen mixed berries
A handful of walnuts/or any other nut
A splash of raspberry syrup
Methods
Turn on the hob and put the water in the saucepan. Pour in the milk.
Put a lid on and watch closely until the milk almost comes to a boil. You’ll be able to see little bubbles on the edges of the surface.
Lower the heat and add in the semolina. Whisk quickly. The longer it stays on the heat, the thicker it gets. Cook until your desired consistency.
Stir in the sugar and cinnamon and transfer to a bowl.
Decorate with the toppings and enjoy!
