Ingredients

  • 1 teacup of water

  • 1.5 teacups of milk

  • good pinch of seasalt

  •  ½ teacup Macroom oatmeal

Method

  1. Heat all the ingredients in a pot over a medium heat, stirring continuously. The oats will absorb the liquid very fast so be careful not to let it stick to the bottom.

  2. After about 5 or 6 minutes when the oatmeal has softened and is at the consistency of porridge then transfer into a bowl and sprinkle with a little bit of soft brown sugar if desired.

  3. To make the variation with peaches, pomegranate and raw honey, use the same recipe as above just using less salt. When you have transferred the oatmeal into your bowl, arrange slices of good ripe peaches in the middle, sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds over and drizzle generously with good quality raw honey.
