Just typing the title of this dish sounded gross, and I wish it didn’t. Groat is such a heinous word.
Jim attempted this one time and I think he failed at cooking the rice all the way through before he started. Having lots of both leftover brown rice and buckwheat groats in the fridge, I decided to mix them together for a savory and sweet breakfast offering to bring to my weekly meal with my mom and grandma. I usually look forward to Friday mornings because I get to indulge in lots of delicious carbs like muffins and bagels which I NEVER have unless I’m at my grandmother’s. The after effects aren’t always great (feeling fat and sluggish all day) and I’m trying to get in the habit of bringing my own healthy stuff to breakfast. Plus, I feel better bringing good-for-you-food for my closest relatives. Just the smell of this pudding had me salivating and I actually ended up having it for dinner when I made it, because I couldn’t resist. Breakfast porridge + wine = heaven.
