Broken Farro Porridge with Coconut Milk, Almonds, & Roasted Plums

🧂 Ingredients

• 8-10 small Damson plums

  roughly ½ 1lb
• 2 tablespoons turbinado or demerara sugar
• ½ cup uncooked farro
• 2 cups (480 mL) water
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¾ cup (180 mL) light coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• toasted sliced or chopped almonds
• turbinado sugar

  for sprinkling

Instructions

• 1 Roast Plums: Prepare the oven to 425°F (220°C) with a rack in the center
  position. Halve and pit the plums and place in a small roasting dish. Sprinkle
  the plums with the turbinado or demerara sugar. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or
  until the plums are soft and lightly caramelized. Cool the plums on a rack as
  you prepare the farro porridge.
• 2 Prepare Farro Porridge: Place the farro in a high-powered blender, such as a
  Vitamix, or alternatively a high-powered food processor and process until mostly
  ground. You want the grains to be roughly ground with very small pieces of farro
  still visible.  Set aside.
• 3 In a small saucepan, bring the water and salt to a rolling boil. Slowly pour in
  the farro, whisking continuously with your other hand to prevent any lumps from
  forming.  Reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook the farro, whisking
  continously, for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened
  substantially and it is completely cooked.
• 4 Whisk in the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and remove from the
  heat to cool slightly. Serve the porridge and top with toasted sliced almonds,
  roasted plums (or plum compote
  [https://www.abeautifulplate.com/roasted-plum-compote/]), and a sprinkling of
  turbinado sugar.
