An Original recipe by Not Quite Nigella
Serves 2
For Chai Porridge Oats
-
1 cup rolled oats
-
2 cups milky chai tea
-
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
Rhubarb & Pear Compote
-
1 bunch of rhubarb (6 stalks approximately, washed and trimmed and cut into pieces)
-
3 pears, cored and cut into pieces
-
1 cup water
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Step 1 - Firstly, get started on the compote as that takes slightly longer. Place water and sugar in a medium saucepan and dissolve sugar on medium-high heat. Add rhubarb and cook until rhubarb is tender (about 5-10 minutes) and then add pear in during the last 2-3 minutes if the pear ripe or 5 minutes if hard. Add vanilla and stir.
Step 2 - Meanwhile, while compote is cooking, make porridge by combining chai and oats in a small saucepan and cooking until done (about 5 minutes). Add in sugar and taste. Ladle oatmeal into bowls and add some rhubarb and pear compote.
