Pukkolla


In the picture, this is Pukkolla with fresh peaches on it, I believe. Click on the title and it will take you to theveganmouse.blogspot.com, but the recipe is below. Paula, thanks for finding this for me, I've been CRAVING this for a while now! Oh so good! This is a recipe from Jamie Oliver. He says "Pukkolla is my name for this outrageously scrumptious concoction. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN HAVE FOR BREAKFAST as it's got everything you need to kick start your day." It's basically a personalized composed museli. I LOVE this stuff!

Composed cereal(recipe follows)
Milk to cover
1 Granny Smith apple, washed, unpeeled, cut in half


I would definitely try to make this the night or day before you want to eat it, although it can be made at the time(although you won't get the smooth silky scrumptious texture that the milk gives it overnight). I normally place double the amount of composed cereal I need(4 portions for 2 people) into a bowl. Doubling up like this gives you enough to eat for the next couple of days. Cover with milk, grate in half an apple per person and stir immediately to stop the apple discoloring. Place in the refrigerator.

Composed Cereal:
8 large handfuls organic Scottish porridge oats(scottish oatmeal-I like Bob's Red Mill brand)
2 large handfuls ground bran
1 large handful chopped dried apricots
1 handful chopped dried dates
1 handful crumbled walnuts
1 handful smashed or chopped almonds, hazelnuts or Brazil nuts

Add poridge oats and bran to a large plastic container with apricots and dates. Crumble in walnuts and add chosen nuts (I usually bash them in a tea towel). At this point feel free to improvise, adding any other preferred dried fruits like raisins, sultanas, strawberries or figs, but personally I think the above combination works pretty well. This will keep for a good couple of months very happily in an airtight container, but you'll have eaten it by then, I guarantee. The great thing about it is that you can adjust it to your own preference, but I would suggest you stick to the basic dried ingredients that I use as they work so well together. It's very handy to have a large plastic airtight container to store your composed Pukkolla in, so try and get a hold of one.

This is from foodnetwork.com, but when I went to look for it, it's not there any more. My copy was printed 11/21/2006. I guess they rotate recipes as they add new ones on the site.
