For the Stewed Plums
- 4 blue or purple plums
- 1/2 cup white or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- Small pinch of cinnamon
For the Porridge
- 1/2 cup of old fashioned rolled oats (if using quick oats, cook quinoa first, until almost done, then add oats)
- 1/4 white quinoa
- 1 cup milk (optional)
- 1 cup water (2 cups if not using milk)
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation
For the Stewed Plums
Cut the plums into quarters and discard the pits.
In a small pot, add plums, sugar, water, and cinnamon.
Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly for about 10-15 minutes, or until the plums are chunky and the sauce is thickened.
For the Porridge
Meanwhile, add all of the porridge ingredients into a saucepan and cook over med-low heat for about 20 minutes until oats and quinoa are tender. Add more water if it becomes too thick or dry.
Spoon the porridge into bowls and gently stir in the stewed plums. Top with granola or toasted nuts or seeds.
Enjoy!
