foxnestfood Bacon & Cheese Savoury Oats (Trust me on this one!)
Itās National Porridge Week and Iām delighted to be teaming up withĀ @flahavansĀ to take on the āBags Full of Potentialā Challenge to showcase just how versatile Flahavanās Oats are.
When you hear the word Porridge, most of us automatically picture a delicious steaming hot bowl, drizzled with honey & topped with fruit, but did you know that in Asia, savoury porridge oats are common place? It got me thinking, why it never took off in this part of the world?
I never had much of a sweet tooth and definitely prefer a breakfast thatās savoury so I decided to take influence from Asiaās savoury porridge but use some sharp Cheddar and Smokey Bacon. Trust me, It was incredibly delicious and it didnāt feel like it had to be breakfast anymore either. You could easily have this for lunch or dinner and it takes around 10 minutes!
What you need: serve 2
* 80g Flahavanās Porridge Oats * 295ml of Chicken/Veg Stock * 235ml Milk * 70g Red Mature Cheddar, grated * 100g Smoked Bacon Lardons * Salt and Pepper to taste

rachelallencooks Verified Happy Sunday! This Divine Rich Chocolate Cake recipe is from my 2nd cookbook, Rachelās Favourite Food For Friends (published in 2005), that I come back to time & time again. This is a super quick to make and completely delicious cake thatās a bit brownie-like, a bit moussey-like, and can be made using ground almonds or flour, so super versatile. And, it keeps for ages, if you can keep it! I made 2 this morning, one for home and one for a friendās (belated) birthday! Hereās the recipe below! Serves 6-8 A little soft butter, for greasing the tin 150g dark chocolate, chopped 125g butter 150g caster sugar 3 eggs, whisked to break up 50g ground almonds or plain flour
For the Chocolate Glaze: 110g dark chocolate , chopped 2 tbsp milk or cream 50g butter
Preheat the oven to 160āC/Fan 145. Butter the sides of a 20cm round cake tin (or spring form tin ) and line the bottom with grease proof or parchment paper. Place the chocolate, butter and sugar in a bowl sitting over a saucepan of simmering water, and melt. Stir until smooth then beat in the eggs and fold in the ground almonds or sifted flour. Feel free to add orange zest, vanilla, sea salt, cardamom, ginger etc! Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 35-45 minutes until the centre feels just set in the centre, but it will still be gorgeously moist. Allow to cool in the tin . To make the chocolate glaze , melt all the ingredients together and stir until smooth, allow to cool a little until it has thickened slightly ( about 10 minutes) but do not place in the fridge as it will lose itās glossy sheen . Take the cooled cake out of the tin and place on a plate or cake stand , and pour the glaze over the top , letting it drizzle down the sides. #baking#rachelallencooks#chocolatecake#glutenfree1d

Method Put the curry paste in a shallow dish with half of the coconut milk and crumble in two pieces of the palm sugar. Mix with a fork to form a smooth paste, then add the chicken and mix well to combine. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour, although the longer the better. Remove from the fridge about 20 minutes before you plan to cook it.
To make the peanut-coconut sauce, add the peanut butter with the soy & ginger sauce, sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, the remaining palm sugar and coconut milk to a saucepan and stir over a gentle heat to make a smooth sauce. Transfer to a bowl and set aside until needed.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6). Arrange the chicken on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the oven and arrange on a platter, then scatter over the fresh chilli and coriander. Tuck in the lime wedges and serve straight to the table with the rice and peanut-coconut sauce for dipping.
NEVENāS TOP TIP
To make this an easy family tray bake, add a packet of baby potatoes that youāve halved and tossed in a little oil to the chicken before roasting.
