Porridge is a cheap and versatile breakfast cereal. It's quick to prepare, and it's nutritious, being high in fibre and providing a slow release of energy... and it doesn't have to be boring!
Trial and error will let you know how much of the oats you'll need. Usually between 25-50g. Add milk - either semi-skimmed, or try soya milk or other non-dairy alternatives. (Soya has a higher protein content than other plant-based alternatives). You can either cook for 5 minutes in a sauce pan over a moderate heat, or if you're short on time (or don't like washing pans) chuck all the ingredients into a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.

It's the time of year where it all starts to get interesting!

May brings fantastic ingredients for frittatas, risottos,  salads and light summery puddings.

Enjoy the fresh, clean flavours, and if you have the storage space consider freezing or bottling some of the produce itself - or make compotes and soup bases for freezing for use later in the year.
