I don't know about you but I have stuggled adapting to eating breakfast over here. Generally some bread ot tost is fine but on these cold winter mornings I find that it would be nice to have something warm inside before setting out.
To be honest, I don't have a sweet tooth and ergo I find the traditional dish of porridge that seems to be eaten by my colleagues a bit sickly.
Havuing said that, porridge is very warming and it keeps the hunger pangs at bay throughout the course of the morning.
So, I have come up with a new porridge recipe to share with all of you who prefer savoury things to sweet things.
1) Boil the porridge oats in salted water and add a handful of olives
2) Let simmer for a few minutes. Don't use the spoon.
3) Serve into a bowl and drizzle the surface liberally with olive oil (in the same manner as you would a bowl of hummous).
It's really nice - you just have to try and forget that it's porridge.
