2 clementines, scrubbed, pared zest and juice
1 ball stem ginger in syrup, finely chopped, plus 4 tbsp syrup
300g rhubarb, sliced
500ml plain or vanilla kefir drink
2 small pears, cut into matchsticks or coarsely grated
160g porridge oats
Toasted flaked almonds, to serve
Greek yogurt, to serve (optional)

The night before serving, preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Put the clementine zest into an ovenproof dish. Add the juice of 1 clementine, the ginger and syrup, plus the rhubarb. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir everything gently, then roast for a final 5 minutes; set aside to cool, then cover and chill overnight (or up to 5 days). Meanwhile, in a medium resealable container, mix the kefir, pears and oats. Cover and chill overnight.
In the morning, stir the remaining juice of 1 clementine through the oats, then divide the mixture between 4 bowls. Top with the rhubarb, ginger and syrup (discarding the clementine zest). Serve with the flaked almonds plus some Greek yogurt, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Waitrose Fibre Boost Super Plant Blend Fruity Mix is packed with berries, nuts and seeds and provides an impressive 30+ plant varieties. It’s great for scattering over porridge or yogurt, or on top of cakes before baking. Sprinkle over this overnight oats dish instead of the flaked almonds to serve and you’ll take it from a respectable five plant varieties to a mega 35 plant varieties.
