Breakfast On Board - Orange Oats with Dark Chocolate & Nuts

Wander through an amber dawn with "In an Orange World," a tapestry of oatmeal enriched with seeds and nuts, adorned with the citrusy sunbeams of tangerine, and the sweetness of apricots and raisins. It is crowned with a molten heart of dark chocolate, inviting a sensation of pure indulgence into your morning ritual. Let each spoonful be a gentle kiss of nature's bounty.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon of flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds
• 1 teaspoon of chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons of puffed quinoa seeds
• ½ cup pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons of white raisins
• 4 dried apricots
• 2 cups almond milk
• Chocolate with 72% cocoa
• 1 tangerine, halved or sectioned
• Honey, as desired

Preparation

Begin by swirling together oatmeal, the whispers of flax, chia, and sunflower seeds, white raisins, and tender pieces of two dried apricots, reserving some pine nuts for garnish. Bathe these treasures in almond milk, using a generous double volume measure to oats, and let them bubble together for 3 to 5 minutes, until they transform into a thickened, nourishing embrace.

Once off the heat, pour your creation into a serving bowl. Rest a generous shard of 72% dark chocolate at its centre, allowing it to surrender to the warmth.

Frame this chocolatey core with the vibrant segments of tangerine, and sprinkle over the small cubes of the remaining apricots, along with the spare pine nuts, creating a mosaic of textures and flavours.

Finally, anoint the dish with streams of honey, rounding off this morning masterpiece with a touch of golden sweetness.
