The title says it short, this says it all, I want hot cereals! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, sweet, savory, wheat, oats, rice, you name it I want it! Give me your best cereal grain recipes!
I’ll start with a old family classic! cracked wheat cooked with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, golden raisins and chopped pecans!
I usually just toss stuff together till it tastes good but roughly it’s one cup cracked wheat to three cups boiling water and a pinch of salt. simmer in a saucepan for about 20 minutes adding cinnamon, vanilla, golden raisins, pecans, brown sugar, and milk about 5 minutes before the end to let things heat up and soften and blend. I like golden raisins but craisins, regular raisins, dried dates, dried apricots or whatever fruits you want, it’s all good. Awesome on a cold morning with a nice hot chai.
I looked it up and technically millet is a cereal! I cook 2 parts millet with one part frozen spinach (2/3 of standard water) and when it’s nearly cooked, I take the lid off and add tomato sauce, then top with cheese before serving. I sometimes add chia seeds as well, if it needs a little thickening up.
I also love chopped green onions, tomatoes, olives, and smoked tofu in bulgur (bloomed in broth)
