You thought you tried it in every way, but we are quick to say that it is not. There is a new way to prepare the good and particular porridge, characteristic of the English breakfast. To propose it is the well-known chef Bruno Barbieri who has chosen a recipe with purely summer fruit but which you can replace at will in case you should not find the ingredients from your trusted greengrocer. The face of MasterChef Italia has published a new version of this dish, in which sweet ingredients meet a hint of salty. To prepare Bruno Barbieri's porridge, we start by making a chutney , a sort of fruit and vegetable jam. For this version, the chef offers us a mix of apples, apricot, mango and green tomatoes. A puree of genuine flavors that is added to a bed of oatmeal, cooked in milk, and flavored with rose water and other spices.

The result is a mix of different ingredients, where sweet and savory come together with spicy flavors. Now, however, let's proceed calmly and explain all the steps to prepare a perfect Barbieri-style breakfast!
