Cardamom & Date Porridge With Hemp Seed Butter

Method

1. Pop all of the porridge ingredients into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to the boil and reduce to a low simmer, mixing often. The more you mix, the creamier your porridge will be. Add more milk or water to get your desired consistency.
2. Once the grains have broken down into a thick porridge, turn off the heat and ladle into bowls. Add a splash of cold milk and top with whatever you fancy.
3. If you want to have a go at making our own hemp seed butter... we love the crunch you get from using whole hemp seeds, but you’ll need a powerful food processor.
4. Lightly toast 250g of hemp seeds in a cast iron pan until they begin to pop and smell nutty. Let the seeds cool before adding them to your food processor and grind until you have a fine powder.
5. Add a pinch of salt and 50g of extra virgin olive oil or hemp oil and continue to blend until you have a thick and slightly crunchy paste.
6. Store the hemp seed butter in a sterilised glass jar in the fridge and use as you would peanut butter.
