Pomegranate, Pear & Rose Porridge
3-4 cups water
1/2 cup steel cut oats
1 ripe pear, cubed
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
Toppings:
2-3 tbsp pumpkin seeds

In a pressure cooker or instantpot, combine 3 cups of water, the oats, spices and pear. Cook for 18 minutes. If using the stovetop, combine the water, oats, spices and pear. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes on high heat. Then reduce heat, cover and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until soft and the water is absorbed. Add an extra cup of water as needed. Once done, scoop into your favorite bowl, drizzle with maple syrup, top with seeds and rose petals, and a scoop of the rose petal spread. This recipe makes 2 servings.
