For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams rice
• 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 400 ml almond milk
• 200 ml water
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
• 1 tablespoon raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Salt to taste
• 5 grams chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for garnishing

Procedure:

• Peel, core, and dice the apple. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 400 ml of milk, and 200 ml of water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Add the diced apple, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg powder to the saucepan.
• Stir well and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
• Add the raisins and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Taste the porridge and add a pinch of salt if needed.
• Ladle the porridge into bowls and garnish with chopped nuts.
