Porridge from A Girl and Her Pig: Recipes and Stories by April Bloomfield

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Yep, a recipe for porridge, but this is THE recipe for the best porridge you will ever have. Wind back on the salt if that’s not your thing. And this makes 2x serves, not the 4x serves stated in the book.

    This recipe is basically half and half milk and water and also steel cut and rolled oats; I only add a pinch of salt. I love the texture of this. Can be made ahead and heated as needed in the microwave, and milk to water ratio can be adjusted.

    I've never loved oatmeal; it is just something that I tolerate from time to time. The only way I generally eat oatmeal is if I have lots of toppings to disguise the mush. This porridge was delicious. I thought it would be too salty. It wasn't because the sugar really balanced it out. It reminded me of an oatmeal cookie. I think April has converted me to a porridge fan.

    I agree that the salt is too much - next time I will cut back on it. However, the recipe is otherwise pretty perfect - I loved the taste and textures.

    I like a bit of salt in my porridge but this was way too much (and yes, I used maldon). Loved the texture of the porridge, but will be cutting back on salt next time.

    ...salt the oats while they cook so that when they’re done, you balance it out with brown sugar and create this incredibly lively salty sweet oatmeal combination that dazzles your tastebuds.
