Teresa’s pistachio and pear porridge

Teresa created a delicious, Christmas porridge — but instead of rice, she used familiar, quick-cooking oats. The porridge is cooked in rich almond milk and flavored with cardamom, pear, pistachio paste, and crushed pistachios.

Ingredients

4-6 servings

 

  • 1 l almond or oat milk
  • 4.5 dl oat flakes
  • 1 ripe pear, diced
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 dl pistachio paste (e.g. Pirkka)
  • 1 dl pistachios, roughly chopped

 

ADDITIONALLY

  • 1 dl pistachios
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp honey
  • a pinch of salt

 

TO FINISH

  • 1 large or 2 small pears, diced
  • 1 dl pistachio paste
  • 50 g dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

Pour the milk, oats, diced pear, cardamom, and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring well. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the pistachio paste and chopped pistachios and stir thoroughly. Turn off the heat and leave the porridge to steam under the lid for about 10 more minutes.

Toast the pistachios in a dry, hot pan until they get a bit of color. Add the butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix and spread the nuts onto a sheet of baking paper to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop them with a knife.

Divide the porridge into bowls. Top with pear, pistachio paste, chopped chocolate, and the caramelized pistachios.
