Method

  1. Stir the oats, milk and lemon juice together in a bowl.

  2. Grate the apple straight into it, skin and all, and stir at once so it does not brown.

  3. Stir in the yogurt and raisins, cover and leave in the fridge for at least an hour.

  4. Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan for two minutes and scatter them over before eating.

Worth knowing

  • The original, from a Zurich clinic around 1900, was mostly apple with a spoonful of oats. Oats have taken over since, and 55 g here is what makes it a full breakfast rather than a side.
  • Lemon juice on the grated apple keeps it from browning and sharpens the whole bowl. Skip it and the bowl is beige by breakfast.
