| A spiced porridge of whole naked oat groats topped with fruit, nuts and seeds |
This very simple recipe lends itself to countless variations, depending what's in season. Here it's topped with almonds and poached pears.
Whole oat porridge tastes similar to a more usual porridge of rolled or jumbo oats but with a more wholesome, pleasantly chewy texture. A large batch can be made and stored in the fridge for a couple of days; just add a little liquid to loosen the porridge when reheating.

This dish allows the leeks and peas to cook and soften together slowly, lending their flavours to each other. Cooking the peas slowly helps release their starch, giving the dish an overall creamier consistency. The salsa verde adds a great savoury tang. Author Eden Owen-Jones is an avid listener of the Home Cooking podcast with Samin Nosrat and Hrishikesh Hirway and there is only so many times she could hear Samin talk about this salsa without trying to make a version for herself – we think it works really nicely here.
Much like chickpeas, flamingo peas really come into their own once they’ve had time to soak up flavour. Here, Eden Owen-Jones cooks them marinated with lemon, garlic, fennel seeds and soft herbs, creating a punchy, fragrant base you’ll want to keep on hand for salads, toast toppers and more.
