A warm, smooth cereal bowl made with milk and a small amount of ripe banana.
Milk supplies protein and calcium; semolina provides starchy carbohydrate. Banana adds some fibre. Adaptation: use lactose-free milk if needed. Semolina contains wheat: for coeliac disease, use a certified gluten-free rice cereal instead. Contains: wheat (gluten) and milk.
Method
- 1 Warm the milk in a small saucepan over a low heat until just starting to steam.
- 2 Gradually whisk in the semolina in a steady stream, whisking constantly to stop lumps forming.
- 3 Cook gently for 5-10 minutes, following the packet directions, keeping the heat low and stirring throughout, until thick and smooth. Add a little extra liquid if it looks too thick.
- 4 Mash the banana thoroughly with a fork and stir it through.
- 5 Leave to cool slightly and serve warm rather than very hot, as semolina holds heat well.
