Warm Rice Porridge with Poached Pear

Instructions

1. 1

   In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then lower heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice breaks down into a soft porridge (15–20 min). Add more water only if allowed.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a small pot, simmer the peeled pear halves in 1/2 cup water until very tender (8–10 min). Remove and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Spoon a small portion of porridge into a bowl, top with a half pear. Drizzle a tiny bit of honey if desired and dust with cinnamon.

4. 4

   Eat slowly; the soft texture is soothing for ulcerative colitis.
