Leftover rice can be transformed into many delicious creations however this one is my ultimate comfort food leftover. It is very simple... as in oatmeal simple and can provide a delicious breakfast, snack and sometimes lunch, for myself. You can dress up the leftover rice with a variety of fresh fruit, dried fruit, syrups/sugar and milk as you wish.
I warmed up the leftover brown rice, in the microwave, to take the chill off. Brown rice is great because it is more substantial and offers a light nutty flavour. Then I added a handful of dried chopped dates, flaked coconut, a light sprinkling of dark brown sugar, a drizzle of milk and topped with a raspberry. As you can see this is very reminiscent of rice pudding and a bowl of oatmeal. Working both as a cereal and a dessert.
Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. We did! - JD
