125 g water | Filtered
4 apricots | Dried | Organic

2 cardamom | Seeds | Organic
1/4 vanilla | Pod | Organic

Place the buckwheat into a small stainless steel saucepan.
Cover the buckwheat 1 inch above the
surface with pure clean filtered water.
Place upon the hob on a high heat setting
(heat setting 9) and allow the water to come to a boil.
Once bubbles are observed, turn down the
heat to medium (heat setting 5.) and allow to boil for 3 minutes to release the
impurities. After 3 minutes, strain the buckwheat in a sieve and rinse under
cold running water from the tap.
Ensure that the stainless steel saucepan
is, too, washed away of impurities and return the buckwheat to the pan.
Add 125 g of water to the pure, partially
cooked buckwheat and return the pan to the hob set on a high (heat setting 9);
allow the water to come to a boil and reduce heat to medium (heat setting 5.)
once the presence of bubbles are observed.
At this point, add the chopped dried
apricots along with the aromatics (cinnamon stick, cardamom and the vanilla
pod) and allow to simmer for a set time of 10 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove the two cardamom
pods from the mixture and release the seeds; discard the emptied pods and give
the mixture a gentle stir.
Once the 10 minutes have elapsed, add the
125 g of fresh homemade almond milk.
Stir briefly before allowing the mixture to
boil for a further 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the blueberries to the
serving dish of choice - if using frozen blueberries, place the serving dish
containing the blueberries into the microwave and cook for on high for 1.5
minutes.
Remove the blueberries from the microwave
and place beside the hob to which the buckwheat is gently simmering for the
last couple of minutes.
Once the 8 minutes have elapsed and the
majority of the liquid has been absorbed, spoon the buckwheat porridge mixture
over the beautifully blue blueberries.
Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla pod
if desired and serve topped with a tbsp. of organic ground cinnamon.
