Dalia is made of Cracked Wheat.

INGREDIENTS

• Dahlia- It's made with Cracked Wheat, this ingredient can't be substituted.
• Sugar- I made it with regular sugar but you can substitute Stevia Splenda, or even honey.
• Milk- I used full fat milk but you can substitute low fat milk.

HOW TO MAKE DAHLIA?

Disclaimer: I know these aren't the Instant Pot pictures but that day my Instant Pot decided to stop working, so I had to make the recipe on the stovetop but I normally make it in the Instant Pot.

Add the cracked wheat in the Instant Pot, sauté it until golden and add water bring to a boil and pressure it.

It should look like this.

Next add milk.

Add sugar.

Mix well!

Enjoy!

TIPS

• You can adjust the consistency by adding or subtracting milk from this recipe.
• Always use an Instant Pot or pressure cooker for this recipe, because I had to use stovetop it took a hour to cook the cracked wheat.
• You can add as many or as little toppings as your heart desire.

HOW TO STORE IT AND REHEAT METHOD

Dahlia isn't a freezer-friendly recipe. It's a refrigerator-friendly recipe. Store it in an air-tight container. It should last 3-5 days in refrigerator. When ready to eat it just place it in a microwave. Add a splash of milk after reheating and utilize a fork to assist in breaking down the oats into the milk.
