Dreamy Turkish delight porridge

(Serves 2) 

Ingredients

For the porridge:

  • 200 g (7 oz/2 cups) organic rolled (porridge) oats
  • 750 ml (25½ fl oz/3 cups) plant-based milk (I use coconut milk)
  • 2 tsp food-grade rosewater

For the chocolate sauce:

  • 1 tbsp hulled tahini
  • 1 tsp cacao powder
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp water

To serve:

  • 1 tbsp crushed pistachio nuts
  • 2 tsp dried rose petals

Method

  1. Combine the porridge ingredients in a bowl. Stir to combine, then leave to soak for a few minutes or overnight in the fridge.
  2. Whisk the chocolate sauce ingredients together and drizzle over the porridge. Top with the crushed pistachio nuts and dried rose petals.
  3. To enjoy warm, simply place the soaked porridge ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until warmed.
  4. Add the toppings and serve.
