Savoury Miso Chia Pudding
Chia seeds are a fantastically versatile ingredient but you will usually find them confined to sweeter creations.
Not to be constrained by other people’s lack of creativity (tee hee, I jest of course!) I wanted to experiment with these omega 3 and plant based protein rich beauties and see if I could come up with a suitable savoury incarnation, and drumroll please, this was the final result!
Beautifully flavourful, hugely supportive of the digestive system (both due to the soluble fibre of the seeds and the probiotic element of the fresh miso) and thrown together in mere minutes, I have been eating this everyday for lunch for the last week!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and of course you can vary the herbs and vegetables to your own tastes.

I take mine like this and then decant it into a bowl to serve with my additions but you could easily add these into the jar too.
