I have decided to post another oatmeal recipe. It's an Ecuadorian recipe and one I really like. It can be adapted anywhere even though the fruit contained in it is only available in Colombia and Ecuador (so I'm told). I'll comment on adjustments after the recipe.Colada Quaker
Ingredients:
1 cup of Quaker oats
3 Naranjillas
6 cups of water
pinch of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
Cinnamon (to taste)
Cloves (to taste)
Directions:
Wash the fruit and cut them into quarters. (I do peel them first) Add them to the water. Add the oatmeal and salt. Cook over a medium fire stirring often. When the mixture begins to boil add the sugar and spices. Cook for 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in the blender then strain into a pitcher. Serve hot or let cool. You can vary the fruit and use pineapple or passion fruit.
Adjustments: I would also try this with a couple of oranges for the fruit. I bought some last week to try out before posting this to let you know how it was but they got eaten before I could try it.
This drink is very thick and very filling. I sometimes use it as a mid-morning snack for my kids during school. You can make it as sweet or not as you want. I have also made it with whole cane sugar (panela, here). I always add more than the recommended amount of cinnamon as I really like cinnamon!
