Ingredients
Units
- 6 cups water
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 cups wheat groats or crushed wheat
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (8 Tbsp) butter
- honey, to taste
Instructions
- Combine the water, milk, groats or crushed wheat and salt in a pot. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often.
- Heat the butter in a pan.
- Place the harish (porridge) mixture in the pan, spoon out a hole in the middle and fill with honey (to taste). Serve hot.
Notes
- My kids prefer it with half a cup less water and half a cup more milk. Some people omit the milk, just as they would for oatmeal.
- I’ve seen recipes that add a teaspoon of sugar and margarine instead of butter, though I’ve never tried it.
- On Passover, we substitute crushed matzah for groats or wheat.
- On Shabbat, we bake this mix in a jachnun pot on a low heat (225°F or 100°C) overnight in the oven for cold Saturday mornings, which yields a very soft mixture.
