ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: Save some time by preparing this recipe for Brown Rice Porridge with Mixed Berry Compote the night before. All that’s left to do in the morning is cook and eat.
My mom told me that this recipe was trickier than most to develop. She tested and retested but kept finding that the rice was more like rice than porridge.
Soak the Cooked Rice Overnight
The key to this recipe, she discovered, was to soak the cooked rice over night as instructed. This softens up the rice to the point where it becomes the consistency of traditional porridge.
You can either make the compote the night before and reheat it while the porridge is cooking in the morning or make at the same time as the porridge. We suggest that you make extra of the compote because it makes a nice dessert that you can enjoy later in the week.
