Breakfast Revolution: Wild Rice Porridge Takes Center Stage
Are you tired of the same old oatmeal routine? Look no further! With a few cups of cooked wild rice in your fridge, you can whip up a quick and satisfying breakfast alternative that’s both delicious and adaptable.
Flavor Fusion: Pear and Cardamom Take the Lead
This classic flavor combo is just the beginning. Once you’ve mastered the basic formula, the possibilities are endless. Try swapping in apples, apricots, or blueberries for the pears, or almonds for the pecans. You can even switch up the sweetener, opting for maple syrup instead of honey.
The Recipe
Yield: 2 servings
Difficulty: Easy
Total Time: About 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for serving
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
- Pinch fine salt
- 1/2 cup dried pear slices (or other dried fruit), medium dice
- 1/2 cup toasted pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Cooking Up a Storm
Combine the rice, cream, honey, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream has reduced slightly and the mixture is hot, about 7 minutes.

Add the pears (or other dried fruit), pecans, and cardamom. Stir to combine and cook until the pears have softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon, stir to combine, and spoon into bowls. For an extra-rich treat, drizzle another tablespoon of cream and a little honey on top.
