Pumpkin Porridge with Grilled Banana and Lime
Breakfast
Autumn is here and that means pumpkin is in. I love this porridge, it’s so comforting and nourishing for the body. Grilled bananas have to be the best topping; rich in natural sugars and potassium they will fuel you right through the day. Topped with the zest of 1 lime this dish will tantalize your taste buds to infinity and beyond. Tip: you can make the extra pumpkin mash the night before with your dinner and use the leftovers for the porridge to speed up the time. If you can’t find pumpkin anywhere swap it in for butternut squash or sweet potato, both work really well! To make the mash all you need to do is peel the pumpkin, chop it into inch cubes and steam it for 30 minutes until cooked through. Then blend it into a mash/puree.
