Ingredients
- 1 glass oats
- 2 glasses water
- 1 pear
- 4 dried plums
- 1 tbsp walnuts
- 1 tsp honey/syrup
- pinch of cinnamon
- 6 tbsp fermented oats
- 5 tbsp tahini
Instructions
- Add the oats, salt and water in a saucepan, let boil and then simmer for 10-15 min. Stir occasionally.
- In the meanwhile, chop the fruits. Set a pan on medium heat, add the fruits, a pinch of cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt. Break up the walnuts with your hand and add them to the pan. Roast until the pear is slightly softer and warm in the inside. Turn off the heat. Leave them everything in the pan.
- Check on the oats. If there is still a little bit of liquid around, that’s fine. The porridge will thicken as it cools down. Strain the fermented oats. Combine the tahini with one side of the porridge and strained fermented oats with the other. Add the honey/syrup and stir briefly.
- Top with the fruits and walnuts. Have a good start into your day!
Notes
We strain the fermented oats because the liquid tastes like whey, which, when not bound to anything, has a very distinct flavour unpleasantly bypassing and oppressing many others. You can use the liquid to soak other oats again or use it as a culture for other ferments - just like with whey in fact. Here are further inspirations.
