Savory Porridge with Blood Orange Olive Oil

January 1, 2018 by Edible San Francisco

savory porridge

We’re big fans of the porridge renaissance (yes porridge is making a comeback!) and like to serve a savory version for brunch. B.R. Cohn Winery sent us a bottle of their 2017 Pinot Gris Sonoma Valley and Blood Orange California Olive Oil to try and we paired them with our favorite savory amaranth porridge. The Pinot Gris is an ideal brunch wine, with a bright fruit profile, complemented by fresh acidity. We love finishing rice dishes with infused oils, and the blood orange olive oil adds the perfect punch of citrus to this savory porridge.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 50 minutes
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Main course
  • Cuisine: California

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shallot, peeled, sliced in half
  • 1 1” piece ginger, peeled, smashed
  • ½ cup brown rice
  • ½ cup amaranth rinsed well
  • ½ cup whole rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup pea shoots, blanched, drained and blotted dry. If your shoots have blossoms, pinch them off and set aside for garnish
  • 4 tablespoons B.R. Cohn Blood Orange California Olive Oil

Instructions

Bring shallot, ginger, rice, amaranth, and 8 cups water to a boil in a large (3 quart) saucepan.

Reduce the heat to a simmer so the mixture is barely bubbling. Stir often to prevent sticking (stir in more water as needed to keep the mixture from clumping), until the mixture is thick like porridge and rice is soft, approximately 30-40 minutes.

Add the oats and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through.

Discard shallot and ginger and stir in the soy sauce. Add more soy sauce to taste, you’re aiming for a savory but not overpowering saltiness.

To serve, divide the porridge into 4 bowls and stir equal amounts of pea shoots into each serving. Drizzle a tablespoon of B.R. Cohn Blood Orange California Olive Oil on top of each bowl and serve.
