Slow Cook Porridge with Mixed Fruit in Blue Bowls

Whole-Grain Breakfast Porridge

rice

steel-cut oats

pearl barley or farro

orange peel

cinnamon

sugar

salt

dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins

nuts, maple syrup

Up to 12 hours before serving, put the rice, oats, barley and farina in a 6-to-10-cup rice cooker. Stir in the orange peel, cinnamon stick, sugar, salt and 5 cups water. Add the dried fruit.

Close the cooker, set the timer and program for the porridge cycle so that breakfast is ready at the desired time. (If you don't have a porridge setting on your rice cooker, program for 50 to 55 minutes.

Serve the warm porridge with nuts, syrup and/or milk, if desired.

I just made this porridge recipe in my rice cooker and it came out like soup. Ugh. Such a disappointment. My cooker has a porridge setting on the menu selections. That’s what I used. Way, way, too much water in this recipe for less than 2 cups of rice/oats/barley. Obviously this recipe doesn’t follow the 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of water rule. I’m going to leave this soup mixture on “keep warm” setting for awhile hoping it will soak up some of the liquid. Smells wonderful. Fingers crossed it will be better in a few more hours?? ☹️

So good! I just dumped everything in my instant pot and ran the porridge setting. I did not include the dried fruit in the cooker but I did top it with dried fruit after it was cooked.  Loved the essence the orange peel infused 

The different grains is a nice touch, but this needs a lot more sugar and cream, or more dried fruit added at serving, to be tasty, imo. I won't make it again.

I cook this in my Instant Pot of the porridge setting (high pressure) 20 minutes.  I usually manually let the steam out.  I stir it up and divide it into individual Tupperware bowls for breakfast all week.  Add sliced almonds and maple syrup! Delish and very filling. 

This is a favorite recipe. It re-heats well too, better then just steel cut oats. Like the variety of grains and can try lots of combinations. I usually make it without added fruit or sugar and then add what ever want to it later. I used wheat berries, barley, steel cut oats and wild rice. last time I made it, 1/4 cup each with 4.5 cups water and it was in crock pot 8 hours on low and was great. 

OMG Found this be accident and LOVE IT!!!!

Didn't care for this.  We'll use other recipe in future.

I don't have a rice cooker.  Can this recipe be made in a crockpot?  Would any adjustments need to be made?
