Spiced Teff Porridge

This recipe comes to us from Karen O’Donoghue from The Happy Tummy Co in Co. Mayo. Karen made this for us in our studio when she came to film with Rupy. It uses half jumbo porridge oats and half teff grain to achieve a next-level porridge. Since trying this porridge, many of The Doctor’s Kitchen team have become teff converts. It not only achieves a creamier, more comforting texture, it is loaded with vitamins and minerals ie iron, protein. Be sure to soak it overnight, it not only makes the vitamins in the grains more bio-available, it guarantees a smooth texture.
