There is also this great versatile recipe that can be used as a winter breakfast or a dessert.
Coconut rice pudding
1 cup of brown rice
2 cups of coconut milk
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ tsp of nutmeg
4 pears
½ inch of root ginger
If you remember, soak the rice in the saucepan overnight as this makes it easier to digest. Wash and drain well. If you forget, simply wash the rice well under running water.
Place the rice in a saucepan and sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg in.
Add coconut milk and a dash of water. Bring to boil and then reduce to a simmer for 30-40 mins until rice is cooked.
In the meantime, chop the pears and place with the ginger in a little water and stew for 10-30 mins, depending on softness.
Serve with a few chopped or toasted nuts.

I’m not keen on pears or ginger. Can I substitute some other fruit and skip the ginger?
Of course Colleen, how about a little stewed sweet apple with a little cinnamon and nutmeg OR some lovely stewed plums with a little vanilla extract? That would be equally delicious and would not have any added sugar!
