Depending on the size of the fruit, you may need more or less for this recipe. Alternatively, make enough for a few days and store covered in the fridge. Feijoas are very versatile and freeze well. With such a short season it is imperative to enjoy them every which way.

RICE PORRIDGE WITH FRIED FEIJOAS RECIPE
Serves 2

Feijoas
4 feijoas, peeled and halved lengthways
2 tsp butter

Zest and juice of ½ lemon

1 ½ cups oat milk (or other)
2 tsp honey
Pinch cinnamon
2-4 kiwi berries
2 Tbsp toasted seeds
