What's for Breakfast?​

Nutella on white sliced bread

Breakfast of champions

Nutella on crepes or thin pancakes is delicious

That's because Nutella is delicious on everything!

For breakfast, I usually make paneer (actually queso fresco) egg bhurji, at least a recipe that I threw together for it, but this morning I wanted to try something different, and since I tried packaged pongal in the past, I threw together my own version (I have no dried lentils in my room, so the recipe is without them, so this is more of a rice porridge) and it was delicious:

Salix's Rice Porridge

• 1-3/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup uncooked Basmati rice
• 1 tbsp oil or ghee (my ghee is expired, so I used canola)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
• pinch of Old Bay seasoning
• pinch of ground turmeric
• 2 tbsp butter
• cashews or peanuts to taste

Place water, oil, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Wash rice and add to saucepan. Stir occasionally so rice doesn't catch bottom of pan. Once the mixture thickens (about 25 minutes), add black pepper, Old Bay, and turmeric. Continue to cook/stir for an additional 20-25 minutes until the mixture thickens into a thicker porridge. Add butter and continue to stir until melted. Transfer to serving bowl/plate and garnish with cashews or peanuts.

Never hungry when I get up in the morning, so I don't really do breakfast. Have a cuppa tea (usually black) and a piece of fruit if I have any sitting around.

Not so good with noodles, dark chocolate or smoked salmon

Yes, that would be disgusting!

But Nutella is still awesome

It's definitely pretty good. It's ubiquitous here, you know when supermarkets have maybe a shelf for 6 or 8 products
Well, here they have 6 or 8 shelves of Nutella. I've never seen so much shelf space given to a single product.

I cannot believe my eyes!

That is Nutella galore

I cannot believe that has not been photoshopped

What type of supermarket is that!?!?

The sports reporter's breakfast while travelling with a team... 2 coffee, 2 smokes, and a look around. (as told by my favorite and funny local sports reporter)

My shift ended at 'breakfast' time.
I had 2 ounces of Sambuca with coffee beans, and a slice of pizza pizza.

Any supermarket. I got the image from google but it looks like it could be a Leader Price.

There's a lifetime's supply on those shelves

If I was at that supermarket and they gave me a free shopping spree I would basically empty those shelves of Nutella into my shopping trolley

I love potato pancakes, especially topped with sour cream.

Unfortunately, I have nothing so fancy as a food processor.

Even on kale?

Even on kale?

I should imagine the taste of the Nutella would totally override the taste of the kale

@Secret Chief

There ya go, a way to eat your favourite veg and hide the flavour that you love so much. Spread Nutella on the delightful veg...

This has evolved to my practically everyday breakfast.

• 2-3/4 cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oil (sesame or peanut is preferred, but I use canola because it's more affordable)
• 1/4 cup uncooked basmati rice
• 1/4 cup moong dal
• 1/2 tsp ginger/garlic paste
• Course ground black pepper to taste (I use 40 twists on the grinder)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup cashews

Bring water, salt, and oil to a boil. Add rice and dal, and simmer over low-medium heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ginger/garlic paste and pepper. Lower heat and simmer to desired consistency (another 15 minutes), and add butter. After butter melts, add cashews and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.

Makes two servings (one of which I store in the fridge and store up to 4 days).

Also, @Secret Chief may be glad to hear, I'm off eggs again.
