Hugh opts for a Swiss start to the day with this continental take on a classic breakfast recipe on River Cottage

Everyday.   Yellowhammer tried this apple n orange option with muesli and can vouch for it's deliciousness.

A really tasty Summer Porridge.

 

Hugh: "If you've never eaten muesli the Swiss way - soaked in freshly squeezed orange juice and dished up with grated apple and yoghurt - then you've never really given it a chance. It makes a much more exciting breakfast than muesli with just a slosh of milk."

Makes about 12 servings

Ingredients

• 200g porridge oats
• 150g mixed dried fruit of your choice, such as raisins, sultanas, dried apricots, dates, prunes
• 100g nuts of your choice, lightly toasted if you have time
• 100g wheat flakes (optional)
• 3-4 tbsp seeds, such as pumpkin, sunflower, sesame or flax (optional)

To serve (for 1)

• 1 crisp eating apple
• Juice of 1-2 oranges (or a little milk, if you prefer)
• Sugar or honey (optional)
• Plain yoghurt

METHOD

How to make swiss style muesli

For a serving of muesli, put about 50g of the muesli mix into a bowl. Coarsely grate or finely chop the apple (including the skin) and add this to the muesli. Squeeze the orange(s) and add the juice to the bowl (or use milk, if you like). Stir to blend everything evenly and leave to soak for about 10 minutes. Finally, sprinkle over just a little sugar or trickle over some honey, add a good dollop of yoghurt and serve.
