This makes the perfect breakfast as well as being a dessert! If you’re used to cream/ milk/ butter rice puddings ... it’s a little different but just as comforting.
It’s the end of blackberry season so making the most of them 😋#vegan #vegetarian #comfortfood #breakfast #dessert

Put the rice and milk in a pan on a medium heat. Add the spices - for the vanilla, scrape the seeds out and add the pod too. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25 - 30 mins.
2

For the blackberries: put the blackberries and water in a pan. Simmer over a low-medium heat for about 5 mins. Then add the cardamom and simmer for another couple of minutes. If you have a lemon handy, squeeze some juice onto the blackberries.
