Pumpkin Porridge

01Method

1. 1

   Pour the pumpkin purée, water, milk, sultanas, salt and pumpkin pie spice (or the individual spices) into a large saucepan. Place over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

2. 2

   Stir in the oats, reduce the heat and cook following your oat packet's timing, usually around 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   While the porridge cooks, heat a small cast iron skillet over medium heat and toast the pepitas, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   When every grain is tender and the porridge is fully cooked, ladle into bowls and serve with honey or maple sugar, a scattering of toasted pepitas and a splash of double cream if desired.
