What is Porridge?

Porridge is a soft food with a creamy or mushy consistency that's typically served warm. It is made by boiling together any chopped or crushed grain or starchy plants with a liquid such as milk or water.

The most common versions (at least here in the U.S) are served for breakfast but different variations are served for other meals.

Porridge is ancient dish that has been around for thousands of years and has been a cheap and comforting dish that has fed many civilizations.

There are many variations, a few of the most well known types are made using rice, cornmeal, oats, and wheat.

I have tried several different grain blends for porridge and this was my favorite blend including the steel cut oats, farro and amaranth.

I think you'll love this version of porridge too! It's something the whole family can enjoy (even my kids love it!).
