THINK you know your oats? Well it’s time to hit the stove, as Simon Rimmer puts the Nation’s porridge culinary skills to the ultimate test, with the Mornflake Great British Porridge Challenge!
The top TV chef and Britain’s oldest family oat miller, Mornflake Cereals, are urging porridge fans to share their oaty masterpieces, for a chance to take part in the first ever ‘Porridge Stir-Off’, at the home of Mornflake Oats, in Cheshire, on Saturday 5th April.
The ‘Stir-Off’ will take place in the scenic, 13th Century Bunbury Water Mill, near Mornflake Cereals, where the winning recipe will be chosen by Simon, Porridge guru and Golden Spurtle winner, Anna Louise Batchelor (aka the Porridge Lady), together with Mornflake MD, John Lea.
The winner will enjoy a fabulous Gourmet Evening-for-two, hosted by Simon, at his award-winning Cheshire restaurant, Earle, a year’s worth of Mornflake Porridge Oats and an all-expenses-paid trip to enter their recipe into the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Championships, in Scotland. The recipe will also feature in Mornflake’s annual Oat Recipe Book.
You can read all about the competition and upload your recipe on the website or Facebook page - the closing date is March 6th. For inspiration, take a look at the delicious recipe on my other blog, Onions and Paper.
But if you would rather just tuck in to a great breakfast than create interesting dishes with your oats, why not have a go at our own competition to win a Mornflake hamper? You'll find full details here.
I can't comment on the competition page, so assume I need to do so here?
ReplyDeleteI like to top my porridge with a big handful of raspberries in the summer, blackberries in the autumn, cinnamon in the winter and a dollop of Strawberry jam any other time!
