Really want to try this, but I was wondering where the porridge oats fit in? I know you have said they are optional, but I can’t see them mentioned in the recipe at all. Thank you.
.They can be added at any time as they only take a few minutes to cook. Edited now- no idea how they were left out of the post.
Yummy! Added chopped potatoes so simmered it a bit longer and then some yogurt at the end.
