This week's Resolution Recipe: Slow Cooker Porridge.
1/2 cup steel-cut oats
1/4 cup wheat berries
1/4 cup rye berries
pinch salt
4 to 4 1/2 cups water
Add everything to the slow cooker. If you like a really thick porridge, use 4 cups water. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 7-8 hours. If you anticipate letting the slow cooker go for 8 hours, I suggest using 4 1/2 cups of water.
Stir and add some almond or soy milk if needed.
What worked: Eh, it was okay and used up some of the wheat and rye berries that I haven't found a satisfactory use for.
What didn't: I went with 4 1/2 cups water, but it was really schloopy (technical term) after 7 1/2 hours. I ended up having it cook for 9 1/2 I think? It is still much thinner than I prefer; I like making steel-cut oatmeal on its own with significant texture.
Will I make it again? Honestly, I will probably play around with this instead of making standard steel-cut oatmeal for a while. There's an apple-raisin compote the recipe has to go with the porridge, but I was too de-erted to make it by the time this was done. Next time I might just try the standard CultPot steel-cut oatmeal recipe, substituting the three grains in the above proportions.
