Cran-Orange Whipped Porridge

July 17, 2011 By JJ 2 Comments

Pretty in pink

This is…interesting, and I am not sure it came out exactly as intended, but it does have possibilities…maybe.

Pinterest IRL Link-upThere are a few things going on here…This is a post inspired by a link-up that was created by @libismorgan from Am I a Funny Girl? [she is someone I follow on Twitter], the link-up is inspired by Pinterest [If you don’t know about Pinterest, you are probably better off because it is addictive], and the original recipe came from a fabulous blog I just came across recently [Scandi Foodie is a Finnish woman who lives in Sydney, blogs about food and take the most amazing photos]. The original pin for this recipe is here.

I love cranberries, and was so excited when I found them here a few years back.  You can’t get fresh ones in Australia [at least not that I am aware of] but the frozen ones are generally really good. And since this no-sugar thing we’ve been doing, tart flavors are not so tart anymore. It’s amazing how that happens.

Cranberry Porridge Ingredients

I made a couple changes to the original recipe [shocker]…adding a bit of orange juice to the liquid and leaving out the sugar out as a result, but mainly, I doubled the quantity of semolina. I tried it first with the prescribed 65g but ended up with a really runny pot-of-pink – and even after putting couple spoonfuls in the freezer to flash cool after simmering for 20 mins, it was still very thin, and decidedly un-whippable. So pulling from my childhood years of eating Cream of Wheat, and the mention in the recipe that ‘The porridge can be quite thick’ I figured that something was wrong – I added another 65g, simmered for another 15 mins and think I had the correct consistency at that stage.

Spoon-fulla Pink

So why do I say I am not sure it came out exactly as intended? Well it was…a bit gluey and not ‘soft and fluffy’.  Maybe cooked too long? maybe too much extra semolina? maybe not beaten long enough? not sure.  Love the tart flavour, and can see possibilities with apple juice and stewed apples, or even as a filling or spread for something, and it was surprisingly creamy for something with no cream in it. But as it is, or more appropriately as it came out, not too sure. It’s in the fridge currently, I am not certain what to do with it…

You know what though, it sure is pretty. Now to do something with the left over cranberry mash…

250 g frozen Cranberries [2 cups]
750 ml water [3 cups]
125 ml orange juice [1/2 cup] + extra water

Full Method in Under 100 words:

Simmer cranberries with the water for 20 minutes. Strain, pressing gently on the fruit [keep mash for another purpose], you should have about 500 ml [2 cups] of liquid. Add the oj and additional water for 750 ml liquid total.

Return liquid to pan, bring to a simmer, pour in semolina in a fine stream whisking constantly. Simmer 15-20 mins, whisking occasionally, until thick.

    I’m glad you gave it a go! I’ve always cooked this with just a small amount of semolina (65g) and if you cook it long enough it should give a nice result. After whipping the porridge is really light and fluffy. Maybe the semolina you used was different?

That’s it. That’s the post.
Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’ Apparently today is National Strawberry Day, it’s overcast and raining in LA (so a plate of sunshine is absolutely necessary), and if you’ve been here for more than a hot second you know how I feel about toast.
🍞🍓🥒🌱
Toasted sourdough, goat chèvre (or vegan cream cheese), sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, fresh mint, olive oil, black pepper, just a pinch of salt. Go forth and feast.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨.

The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing.

Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?
