TCM inspired stewed pear and apple congee with ginger and cinnamon
Talk about cozy!
In TCM, warming breakfasts support and gently wake up digestion, nourish our system, improve absorption, hydrate, and align with our body clock.
Congee is a traditional rice poridge made with broth or water until grains are completely broken down. It’s the definition of comfort food. Perfect to prep in large batch!
In TCM, pears generate fluid and moisten dry lungs (autumn is lung season).
You have to try this!
Ingredients:
Pears: I like to use a mix of Asian, barlet, or red Anjou. Whatever is in season where I am.
Apples
Cinnamon
Pure maple syrup or honey
Fresh ginger
Organic jasmine rice
Water
Optional additions/variations: nutmeg, other warming spices like cardamom, plums, or goji berries.
Directions:
- clean and rinse your pears and apples.
- rinse rice thoroughly and cook (I like to use rice that has already been refrigerated as leftovers). Use a 1:8 ratio of water and simmer on low. You want the water to break down the rice so it almost becomes pudding-like. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours, but you’ll know when it’s done!
- chop up all apples and pears (skin on), add cinnamon, maple syrup, water (about 1/2 cup), and ginger. Let cook down and stew (about 20 minutes on medium-high heat). I like to let it cook all the way down and almost caramelize, but leaving water and mixing the broth is actually AMAZING and highly encouraged!
It’s pretty straightforward and actually super easy. So cozy, and so fall 🍂🤎
