Oatmeal with chokeberry, walnuts and honey
The chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is still relatively unknown in Belgium, but in Poland and Eastern Europe the berry has been a staple in traditional food for decades. The berry has a high concentration of polyphenols and vitamin C. Dried chokeberries are versatile in the kitchen and can be processed raw as well as in warm preparations. In this recipe we make an oatmeal porridge with dried chokeberries, nuts and honey: a simple breakfast that you can put on the table in less than a quarter of an hour.
