Step by step cooking oatmeal with dried apricots and honey
1. Pour the oatmeal into a steaming bowl. Since the flakes are used for instant cooking, they are simply poured over with boiling water. The Extra flakes will have to be boiled. Pour them into a cooking pot, fill with water and boil for the amount of time indicated on the manufacturer's packaging.
2. Add honey to the flakes. If you are allergic to bee products, add sugar or your favorite jam.
3. Wash dried apricots well under running water, wipe with a paper towel and cut into small pieces. Add to the container to the cereal. If the dried fruits are too dry, then pre-steam them in boiling water for 5 minutes.
4. Pour boiling water over the flakes. The amount of water by volume should be 1.5 times that of oatmeal. If you want a thinner porridge, then fill it with a double proportion. In addition, porridge on the water is a dietary low-calorie dish. If extra calories do not scare you, then you can cook oatmeal in milk.
5. Cover the container with a lid and leave to evaporate for 5-7 minutes. During this time, the flakes will swell, steam, increase in volume by 2 times and absorb all the moisture.
6. If desired, add butter to the prepared porridge and stir. Serve the oatmeal immediately after cooking. Typically, this food is prepared for breakfast.
