Notes
No slow cooker?This recipe can also be made on the stovetop. Just combine all the ingredients except the yogurt and pecans in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring often. Scoop the porridge into bowls and garnish it with yogurt and pecans.[nutrition-label]
