Good morning friends, happy Tuesday! Today I’ve got a variation on one of my winter staples- rice porridge! It’s such a hearty, delicious, indulgent and healthy way to start the day that I come back to it again and again. And this variation, made with forbidden rice, is no exception. It takes a bit of time to cook up but it’s worth every minute. I love it for a weekend breakfast, when the rain is running down the windows and the wind is whipping the trees around. A warm bowl of rice porridge feels so cozy. Hope you love! xx- Sarah

Looks delicious, and with rice porridge…!
Hi Sarah – looks amazing! What is forbidden rice exactly? And do you know what grains / mix is in the seed/grain blend so I can try and find something similar here in the UK? THANKS, Jenny
Thanks Jenny! It’s a specific kind of grain (you can read more about it here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/265623-black-rice-nutritional-information). You could use white sushi rice if you can’t find it in the UK (although it’s worth searching out if you can get your hands on it, it’s such a great color and so full of good nutrition. Let me know how it goes!! xx
Such a nice recipe! x
