Do you eat breakfast?
Me either.
I know. Bad. I eat brunch. Sometimes. That counts. Frankly, it counts double if I eat a piece of cake.
Go with it.
This is my favorite thing to eat for breakfast now. It’s creamy. It’s a touch sweet. It’s a touch salty. It’s smooth and it’s crunchy. It’s just plain good.
So try it!
Farina with Apricots & Almonds
2 cups milk
Salt
1/3 cup farina (such as Cream of Wheat; not instant) [I used Bob's Red Mill brand]
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
Bring the milk and a dash of salt to a boil. Whisk in the farina. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon into bowls and top with sugar, apricots and almonds.
What exactly is farina? Because I’m too lazy to Google it.
It’s hot cereal made from wheat. Cream of Wheat, basically. I used Bob’s Red Mill Farina, but this would work with CoW. You’d just make it per package directions (not sure if the directions are different…).
