Red Lentil & Chia Porridge with Toasted Almonds & Goji Berries

4-6 Servings

Preparation Time: 20 min
Cooking Time: 25 min

Ingredients

2 cups 2% milk or almond milk 500 mL
1/3 cup rolled oats 75 mL
1/3 cup dried cranberries 75 mL
3 Tbsp brown sugar 45 mL
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1 mL
  pinch salt  
1/3 cup chia seeds 75 mL
1 tsp vanilla extract 5 mL
3/4 cup cooked whole red lentils 175 mL
  Garnishes  
1/2 cup goji berries 125 mL
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds 125 mL
1/2 cup fresh blueberries 125 mL

Instructions

Step 1
COMBINE milk, oats, dried cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2
REMOVE the pot from the stove and allow the milk to cool slightly. Mix in the chia seeds and vanilla and allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb most of the milk and become tapioca-like in consistency. Stir in the cooked red lentils.

Step 3
SEASON the porridge with additional cinnamon and/or sugar as desired. Serve the porridge with goji berries, toasted almonds, and fresh blueberries. Enjoy warm or cold.
