delicious whole grain porridge made overnight on the stovetop.

The last recipe post, “overnight slow-cooker porridge” we offered a method to prepare whole grain porridge that eliminates cook time in the morning. But what if you don’t have a slow cooker, or you don’t want to be constrained by the slow cooker cook time? How about porridge prepared overnight on the stovetop?

It’s just as simple to prepare as overnight slow-cooker porridge, with just a bit more to do in the morning before serving.

This porridge can be prepared with any whole grain; we often use short or medium grain brown rice, sometimes with a blend of millet, barley, or (steel cut) oats.
