fermented oat porridge

recipe by Henri LaVoie

Traditional porridge made with oats that have been fermented overnight, producing a slightly sour flavor.

Takes .

  1. Cover oats with filtered water. Let it ferment at room temperature overnight.
  2. Carefully pour off fermenting water. Add fermented oats and 1 cup of fresh water to small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until it reaches desired consistency.

Fermentation is simple — just soak them overnight in pure (non-chlorinated) water. Soaking makes the resulting porridge more nutricious, and also significantly reduces cooking time — crucial for hectic mornings. You can ferment the oats for longer for a more sour flavor.

Makes one 1-cup serving.
