Cardamom Scented Porridge With Poached Prunes Recipe

• 12 prunes
• 1 cup port
• 3 cups water, divided
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 1/2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 cardamom pods
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• Pinch of kosher salt

1. Combine prunes, port, 1 cup water, cinnamon sticks, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until prunes are plumped and mixture is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 20 minutes.
2. Crack cardamom pods with the bottom of a frying pan or a mortar and pestle. In a large pot bring cardamom pods, remaining 2 cups water, and milk to a simmer over medium heat. When it simmers, add oats and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until oats are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
3. Remove cardamom pods, then divide oats between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 3 prunes and allow each guest to pour over the prune poaching liquid at the table.
