Much like a composed salad, this visually arresting Nordic-inspired bowl of porridge is a delightful way to start the day. But the arrangement of the toppings is more than just pretty; it allows you to customize every bite for a super-tasty breakfast experience.
Directions for: Nordic Breakfast Porridge
Ingredients
Barley Porridge2 cups whole milk
1 cup barley flakes
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
Kosher salt
Toppings1 pt raspberries
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
2 Tbsp roasted pistachios, chopped
4 tsp chia seeds, covered in 1 tbsp water
cup whole milk
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Directions
Barley Porridge1. Gently bring the milk and barley flakes to a boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cover and cook until the milk is almost absorbed and the barley is super soft and still a bit creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sugar, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Toppings1. Meanwhile, roughly smash the raspberries with the sugar in a small bowl with a fork.
2. Divide the porridge among 4 bowls. Working around the edges of the bowls, make neat piles of the toppings, placing a quarter of the crushed raspberries, apple sticks, pistachios and chia seeds in each bowl. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with some cinnamon to finish.
