You may use my design as a guide. (Making a mango rose is easier than it looks!) Or be totally creative and produce an original oatmeal-bowl masterpiece! You may find this relaxing and fun, too. 

Of course the main purpose of oatmeal art in a bowl is to whet our appetites at breakfast time, or at lunch or... I know oatmeal lovers don't restrict eating oat porridge to the first meal of the day!

But even an oatmeal lover like me has to admit that porridge can sometimes be rather bland. As a result, some of us tend to add a few too many spoonfuls of sugar. You may add a drizzle of maple syrup or other sweetener, but this recipe has no added sugar! Just natural sweetness. And the edible garnishes are not just eye candy! No, no, no! They provide flavour, fibre and nourishment, too! Think vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats. Goldilocks would definitely approve of this bowl of porridge don't you think?


So there you go! Unleash the oatmeal artist in you! Create a Mango "Rose" Porridge masterpiece! Enjoy!

Mango Rose Porridge - Beverley Noseworthy
MANGO "ROSE" PORRIDGE

A pretty presentation with some pretty impressive ingredients. Perfect for a leisurely breakfast on the weekend or for an elegant start to the day on any special occasion.

AUTHOR: Beverley Noseworthy, 
MEAL: Breakfast & brunch
DIETARY INFO: FODMAP friendly, gluten free, refined sugar
free, vegan
SERVES: 1 

INGREDIENTS 

FOR THE PORRIDGE
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats (gluten free, if necessary)  
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond beverage with vanilla (or your favourite milk)

FOR GARNISHING*
  • 1 mango
  • 2 mint leaves
  • 3 strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon shredded coconut 
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate arils

​STOVETOP METHOD FOR COOKING PORRIDGE
(If you prefer you may use the microwave directions on the product package.)


1. Add water and almond beverage to a small, uncovered saucepan. Heat on stovetop.
2. Gradually stir oats into the boiling water.    
3. Lower heat and cook oats, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
5. Place the cover on the saucepan and remove it from the heat. 
6. Let stand for a few minutes until porridge thickens.
7. Spoon porridge into a cereal or soup bowl and garnish as desired before serving.


MANGO "ROSE" AND OTHER GARNISHES
(See photos for details.)
  1. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel from a fresh mango. 
  2. Then using either a vegetable peeler or a small serrated knife, cut long thin slices from the mango. You will need 3 to 5 slices, or more, depending on the size of rose you would like. 
  3. Begin coiling one slice of mango to form the centre of the rose. Add an additional slice and continue coiling it around the previous slices to form the shape of a rose. 
  4. Use a fork to lift the mango rose and place on top of the porridge. Pinch and arrange the edges of mango to make a realistic-looking 'rose'. 
  5. Place mint leaves and strawberries in a pleasing arrangement near the rose. 
  6. Sprinkle seeds and coconut as desired on the porridge. Use a small spoon to help you sprinkle the finer seeds. 

COOKING TIP: Before you cook the porridge, make the mango rose and have the other garnishing ingredients ready to use. This will ensure that you won't have to exclaim, "This porridge is TOO COLD!"
