I find breakfast very tricky. I love the idea of porridge but due to a health condition I’m not meant to eat oats. After doing some research I came across Peruvian style porridge, which uses quinoa and amaranth, both naturally gluten free, high protein grains. Amaranth is quite difficult to source in Ireland so I used some millet instead, which is a very easy digestible grain. The porridge is very filling and can be made in advance and reheated, making this a very convenient breakfast! You could really top this with whatever you like but I used a combination of pomegranate and pistachio nuts for some added texture. The result was delicious!
