    My British husband cooked porridge every morning. He would soak the oats in water overnight, then add a little evaporated milk and fresh blueberries to the pot in the morning. He would stir the porridge with a beautiful spurtle topped with a carved thistle. Whenever I found Lyles syrup in a store, I would surprise him with a can or two. We were married 39 years before he died, and aside from vacations away from home, this is how he started each day.

      What is soda bread?

    • @bridgetcarr1236
      @bridgetcarr1236 4 ปีที่แล้ว +122

      Soda bread involves using a small amount of bicarbonate of soda , salt, wheat flour and buttermilk to make delicious Irish soda bread. No yeast.

    I followed your instructions step by step and it's the first time I make such a delicious porridge. I wanted to stop using milk and your recipe was just perfect. I never thought of adding a pinch of sea salt, completely new for me. I'm Argentinian and lived in London for a while and used to enjoy porridge a lot! Thanks, James!

      +Jason Federici you need to learn humour my friend . I love olive oil and I'm fully aware of its health benefits but I wouldn't want to eat it on my corn flakes . This chef uses it to excess in everything during cooking and after as a dressing . He's well known for it. So please don't throw insults around when it's not justified

    I eat apple pie porridge:
    Make the porridge as Jamie said (but with milk not water)
    Half way through cooking add in tiny pieces of diced apple
    Add cinnamon and nutmeg
    Once apple is soft and porridge is cooked, pour into a big bowl and enjoy :P

    Hi Jamie, made the porridge just the way you showed it and while it was still warm in the pan I added 1 small apple peeled and chopped, a handful of golden raisins and slivered almonds. A pinch of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Then served it up with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of jam. Husband loved it. Thank you!

    We love the same porridge Brand. I am enjoying a savory porridge made with Lacto free milk. Salt ,black pepper, chilly, cayan pepper two eggs ,a nub of butter and two tablespoons of grated hard cheese a dash of olive oil. It is so creamy and delicious. I derived this when a savory omelette recipe I had followed got stuck to my frying pan. Then woke another day craving the same taste. Decided to just stir and hey presto! It has taken me 60 years to discover savoury porridge. Better late than never.
    Love you Jamie.😊🙏🏿🥰

    My favourite is with soy milk, which is not quite as rich as normal milk but also not quite like using water. Depending on my mood I sometimes cook it quicker to have a more coarse porridge or give it time for a smoother one.
    I also love using different flakes instead of just oat. I have spelt flakes for example that give the porridge a bit of a heartier taste.
    And mixing up fine and coarse oats for different textures.
    For flavour I always put it quite heavy amounts of cinnamon, a nice bit of maple syrup, agave nectar or brown sugar(we don't really have golden sryup here).
    Topped with some kind of fruit, best a quick berry sauce like shown in the video or an apple compote. If I have good fruit at home fresh is perfect of course.

    I once was so bored at Heathrow (after spending more than 5 hours there), I went to one of the restaurants and ordered the cheapest thing they had (because I was kinda poor, a student but didnt wana just wait arround anymore. It was a 9 euro porrigde! Crasy stupid expensive porrige! But what they added on it was lovely and I've done it several times at home after that:
    Just top the porrige with: Slices of 4-5 fresh strawberries,. slices of half a banana, some maple syrup and some sunflower seeds, I'd say about 2 tablespoons. You can even roast them a but for a nutties flavour. It was awesome.
    But still bloody expensive.

      Zoid Burg The oats people use are usually almost 'dead' because they have been pasteurized. Soaking, fermenting and sprouting is good against phytic acid as far as I know. I soak other grains for 5-12 hours, oat grains are lighter (according to the German Dr. Bruker who was an expert in this field and studied Bircher Benner's muesli) and need less time to soak and be well digestible.

      @sandracarli1110 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nimity Tei If you have whole oat groats, you must first flake them by using an oat roller. I let mine fall from the machine (I have one called Flocino) into a dish with some water to prevent oxidation of the flakes. They should soak 30 min. to 1 hour. All of them should be just moist. Don't use too much water. Then add sweet fruits and raw nuts to enjoy it. ;) It is a light meal (you don't feel it in the stomach) but I feel hunger only after 4-5 hours. Feel free to ask more if you need help.

    I like to boil my water first, throw in the oats, bring it back to the boil and turn it off. I let it sit until it has nearly absorbed all the water, add a couple tablespoons of powdered coconut milk and two tablespoons of brown sugar mix and eat (straight out of the pot because I don't share). If it's Summer and I can get fresh peaches then I dice one up and throw it in.

I've seen this done with soft boiled eggs as well but haven't tried that yet. It's basically a substitute to rice but obviously its a porridge.

  • @cindellednic
    @cindellednic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    You want to add the salt at the end after the oats have already cooked. If you add it at the start, they won't get as creamy because pentosans - the gum inside the oats that binds with water and makes that creaminess - will not be able to bond with the water, because the salt will bond to it instead. Probably not as big a problem for rolled oats as steel cut but still, salt at the end is better.

    I've been having porridge for years now - 6 days a week, on Sunday's its anything day (eggs or pancakes or eat out for breakfast). I do not add any like sweetness like sugar or honey or golden syrup but use I do use natural sugars from fruits example banana....or sometime I go without anything and eat it plain with a dash of milk.

    It's funny. My English hubby, while we were living in the states, complained he couldn't find porridge in the stores. I didn't know what it was back then, but he would hunt the cereal aisles and never find it. I could've kicked him when we came to the UK and I discovered it was just stinking OATMEAL! Like we didn't have rolled oats available.....doofus! We like it with lots of cinnamon, dark brown sugar or maple syrup, and sometimes fruit, like cooked apples or my homemade whole cranberry sauce. I also occasionally do chocolate with a dash of cocoa powder mixed in. As for the calories, so what? You need to start the day with a full meal! If you wanna get technical, having a bigger, higher caloric breakfast is healthier because you have all day to burn it off!

      That's right! AND it stops you craving carbs for the rest of the day! This is true for me at least!
