We’re kinda low on oats at home at the moment and I am trying to improvise with ingredients we already have on hand, since things so easily accumulate in our fridge and pantry over time. As I mostly eat oatmeal for breakfast, I needed to come up with an alternative and hence made up this barley porridge combo. We also had some sad apples sitting around and they were a welcome and delicious addition to the whole situation.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.74 EUR per serving / 2.94 EUR for all)

2 apples (0.40 EUR)

1 tbsp lemon juice (0.07 EUR)

2 tsp ground cinnamon (0.13 EUR)

1 tbsp coconut oil (0.07 EUR)

4 cups cooked barley (0.13 EUR)

2 cups plant based milk (0.80 EUR)

4 tbsp ground flax seeds (0.27 EUR)

4 tbsp sunflower seeds (0.53 EUR)

4 tbsp raisins (0.27 EUR)

4 tbsp date syrup (0.27 EUR)

METHOD:

Peel, core and dice the apples. Toss with lemon juice and cinnamon then add to a saucepan with coconut oil on medium heat. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, until apples are slightly caramelized and softened. While the apples are cooking assemble the bowls. Divide the ingredients between four bowls, top with cooked apples and finally drizzle everything with date syrup. This also works really well for meal prep, so just reheat it when you plan on eating.

Trenutno doma loše stojimo sa zobenim pahuljicama, pa pokušavam improvizirati sa sastojcima koji su mi pri ruci, pošto se hrana tijekom vremena lako nakupi u frižideru i špajzi. Kako uglavnom za doručak jedem zobenu kašu, trebala mi je neka alternativa pa sam tako i došla do ove kombinacije sa zobenom kašom. Osim toga, imali smo i neke tužne jabučice koje su na kraju ispale odličan dodatak u cijeloj ovoj priči.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 5,50 kn po porciji / 22,00 kn za sve)

2 jabuke (3,00 kn)

1 žlica limunovog soka (0,50 kn)

2 žličice cimeta (1,00 kn)

1 žlica kokosovog ulja (0,50 kn)

4 šalice kuhanog ječma (1,00 kn)

2 šalice veganskog mlijeka (6,00 kn)

4 žlice mljevenih sjemenki lana (2,00 kn)

4 žlice suncokretovih sjemenki (4,00 kn)

4 žlice grožđica (2,00 kn)

4 žlice sirupa od datulja (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Ogulite jabuke, očistite ih od koštica i narežite na kockice. Pomiješajte sa sokom od limuna, pa ubacite u lončić sa kokosovim uljem na srednje jakoj vatri. Kuhajte 5-10 minuta dok jabuke ne omekšaju i blago se ne karameliziraju. Dok se jabuke kuhaju, složite zdjelice. Raspodijelite sve sastojke između četiri zdjelice, dodajte kuhane jabuke i za kraj sve pokapajte sirupom od datulja. Ovo je super jelo i za prirediti unaprijed i ponijeti na posao, pa samo sve skupa ugrijte prije nego što navalite.
