A delicious breakfast that brings you a sweet and savoury crunch.
Introduction
An absolutely delicious combination of sweet savoury! Adding that crunch to a bowl of porridge really makes a simple breakfast dish sing!
You can get seriously creative with the nuts you choose. I like a mix of almonds, hazelnuts and cashews!
The preparation of the caramelised nuts is very easy but will require caution. Caramel can cause serious burns so always work carefully.
