Jungle Porridge
In the Brazilian state of Para, açai porridge (or Mingau) is a breakfast staple for most. It’s warming, wholesome and will keep you satisfied until lunch. Now you can enjoy açai on even the coldest mornings.
Serves one
Ingredients
100 g açai purée (one pack)
50 g oats
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
300 ml of nut milk
pinch of salt
Your favourite toppings - we love brazil nuts, coconut flakes, nut butter and cacao nibs, to keep the jungle vibes going
Method
Put the oats, chia seeds, salt and nut milk in a pan on a medium heat.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Meanwhile, run the unopened 100 g pack of açai under the tap until thawed, cut it open and stir the açai into the porridge.
Keep stirring until heated through.
Serve in a bowl with your favourite toppings.
