Hi Timothy,�
Yes you are right, sorry!! Add with the pumpkin if they are uncooked. You can also use the pre-cooked or canned type and add later.�
Happy cooking!!

Oh, I forgot to mention, you don't have to stir over the stove for five minutes, you can do 2-3 minutes in the microwave (covered with gladwrap or in a microwave safe dish with a lid) Every microwave is different though, and you might get bubbling over the first few times- I'd suggest start with two minutes, then stir, then additional 30 second lots till ready the first couple of times till you see how long it takes in your microwave. Stir the grated fruit etc in after it cooks.�

I have done this before, I wouldn't store for any longer, but Id suggest refrigerating right after preparing (dont leave it out on the bench etc) and zap it in the microwave in the morning then stir in a little cold milk. The only thing about storing cooked porridge is it can be a bit gluggy and not as nice second time round.�

I usually grate the apple in the food processor, and make the coffee while the porridge is cooking- you'd be surprised how quick it is to prepare then.

Hi Liesbeth, Good question! the Uncle Toby's whole oats I buy take about 10 minutes to cook and are considered Low GI - so I imagine the steel cut would have to be even better for you - they are thicker, and so would take longer to cook. Sounds delicious!! Have you checked out the official GI site? http://www.glycemicindex.com/ Via their contacts page you could email Jenni Brand Miller who is the real expert - I'm just a blogger who uses the Low GI principles to try to adapt my recipes - not really an expert!! Best wishes, Libby

Hi Linda, thanks for the feedback! The thickness the potatoes are cut as well as the variety of potato can make a difference to cooking times. Cut the potatoes thinner for quicker cooking, and always good to push a knife into it to check if it is soft before removing from the oven. Happy cooking! Libby

Sorry to hear that! Our tastes have become less and less sweet over time, if you have a sweet tooth perhaps this one is not for you... we loved it! Was it the lack of sweetness or something else you didn't like?

You are spot on! They flower in summer and the fruit is in season in autumn, and they fill supermarket shelves here in Sydney in Summertime because we import them from India and California. Apparently we also grow it in Western Australia (but not in any significant amounts). In fact I bought half a dozen last week at the markets, the last of the season so I thought!!
