I have used many groats and flakes to prepare a healthy, rich breakfast. I have used traditional rolled oats, millet flakes, buckwheat flakes, unburned buckwheat groats, cuscus and quinoa.

Today I recommend using barley groats. Although I associate them with dinner and for example with beef stew and gherkins, it turns out that they taste great sweet with sour fruit preserve. I have eaten them already with cherries and blackcurrants. Both of them are excellent. I added also my favourite almond flakes, cashew nuts and slightly salty pistachios. Try for a change barley groats for breakfast. Maybe you will like it?

The inspiration for this breakfast comes from www.naszakasza.pl.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
100g of barley groats
300ml of almond milk
a pinch of salt
150g of frozen or fresh cherries or blackcurrants
the peel and juice of half an orange
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
almond flakes, cashew nuts, pistachios

Cook the barley groats by following the instructions on the box, but instead of water use the almond milk. Put the cherries or blackcurrants into a pan, add the juice and orange peel and maple syrup and boil until you have a thick preserve. Roast the almond flakes and cashew nuts in a dry pan. Put two teaspoons of the fruit preserve into some bowls, then the barley groats and again the fruit preserve. Decorate with the nuts, almond flakes and pistachios.

Enjoy your meal!
