Rose & Pistachio Rice Porridge
Method
Put the ingredients in a pressure cooker and cook the porridge for 30 minutes on the ‘Porridge’ setting. Alternatively cook very slowly in a cast iron pot on a low heat for for around 45 minutes, or until thick and creamy, stirring regularly.
When it’s ready, mix well & stir in:
- 1 dessert spoon of maple syrup
- A tiny pinch of cardamom powder (Beware, it can become overpowering!)
- an extra splash of milk before serving to loosen the porridge
Optional
Decorate with chopped green pistachios
1 tsp organic rose jam
Tiny sprinkle dry rose petals – ensure the petals are organic and without pesticides?
Grated lime zest for additional zing!
