Happy Wednesday guys!

Not long to go and it'll be Saturday. Time to breathe out and enjoy some much-needed chill time. I'm especially excited for my upcoming trip to Paris over the weekend, which is bound to be an adventure! Anyway, I thought I'd share this delicious recipe from the archives of my blog Taste & See. Honestly, sometimes the most simple combination of ingredients and recipes are best. No complicated preparation instructions, no weird and wonderful ingredients, and no need for expensive kitchen equipment.

Method:

For the buckwheat porridge:

  1. Soak the buckwheat groats overnight in enough water to cover them. In the morning drain, rinse thoroughly, and add to your blender.
  2. Add the coconut milk, water, and cinnamon to the blender, and blend until the mixture becomes nice and smooth.
  3. Pour the porridge mixture into a small pot over a medium heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the porridge thickens nicely. Add in the honey, and stir to combine.
  4. Serve with poached pear halves.

For the poached pears:

  1. Peel the pear, halve, and remove the core. Place into a small pot or saucepan along with water to cover the bottom of the pot, the honey, and some cinnamon.
  2. Cover and bring the water to a simmer. Simmer the pear for 15-20 minutes, turning every now and then to ensure even poaching.
