MUESLI
MUESLI-1 - cold, enriched porridge
The trouble with buying packaged muesli is that it generally
contains salt and sugar, often in larger quantities than you
might choose for yourself. Making your own muesli is quick
and easy, and you can change the ingredients and alter the
proportions to suit yourself.
After a few experiments, I've settled on this recipe:
INGREDIENTS (4 cups)
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup assorted dried fruit
1 cup bran
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup nuts
3/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1 cup banana chips
PROCEDURE
(1) Mix all ingredients together.
(2) Serve (about 5 heaped dessertspoons seems about
the right amount) with milk, cream, yoghurt, or
whatever you like on breakfast cereal. I've heard
that fruit juice is an alternative, but I haven't
tried it.
NOTES
Use your own choice of dried fruits. I like to cut 4 or 5
pieces of dried apricot into slivers, making up the balance
with sultanas or raisins. I generally use unsalted peanuts,
but I'm sure most nuts would be fine (how about almonds?).
One word of warning: if you use quick-cooking oats instead
of rolled oats, the result is decidedly mushy.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 5 minutes. Precision: No need to
measure.
