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.

Wow, this is now my new favorite breakfast porridge! It was so easy to put it together in my rice cooker the night before. I didn't have farina or wheat cereal, so I simply ground up some brown rice really fine in my coffee grinder that is dedicated for grains/spices and then I used the ground up rice. Also put in a sprinkle of cinnamon instead of a stick. Great flavor, and the orange peel is inspired! I'll be making this again and again!

Prior to making this porridge, I would bring bran cereal and whole wheat toast to work for breakfast.  But after I ate, I will still hungry.  Now, on Sunday I make a batch of porridge and it lasts me the entire week.  And after I eat it in the morning, I stay satisfied and full until lunch!  

I soaked the oats, barley and rice overnight in a bowl of water in the refrigerator. In the morning, I drained the water from the bowl &amp; put all the ingredients (except the farina) together on the stovetop. I brought the pot to a boil and then simmered for 45 minutes. I added to farina for the last 5 minutes of cooking along with extra water, so it wouldn't turn into glue. It worked great! You can even add extra fruit if you're so inclined:)
