Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

1 litre full-cream milk
1 cup cream
200 g pearl barley
1 vanilla pod, sliced lengthways
6 T honey
½ t nutmeg
a pinch salt
1 x 380 g can evaporated milk, for serving
For the roast strawberries:
600 g strawberries, hulled
150 g brown sugar
1 lemon, juiced

Cooking Instructions

Place all the porridge ingredients except the evaporated milk in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 45 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally, to prevent it from catching.

To make the roast strawberries, preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the strawberries on a baking tray lined with baking paper, sprinkle with the sugar and squeeze over the lemon juice.

Roast for 25 minutes, or until syrupy and caramelised. Spoon onto the porridge and drizzle with evaporated milk to serve

Cook's note: I’m a big fan of smoked fish in a salad. I’ve made various versions over the years, usually involving shredded spinach, avo and egg, but this is definitely my finest version yet. The vinaigrette finishes it off perfectly.
