WINTER COCONUT PORRIDGE

This sweet Burmese porridge is usually served after the main dish on a cold night. It is common knowledge in Burma that coconut milk helps you sleep. That is why my hubby and many others only eat this dish in small portions.

WINTER PORRIDGE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Winter Porridge Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-29897

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk of choice (I really like Silk's almond/coconut milk blend)
1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup (69 grams) dry amaranth seeds
1/3 cup (60 grams) dry quinoa, rinsed and drained*
1/3 cup (56 grams) dry polenta (or coarse grits)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Optional spices: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Options for serving: additional milk, maple syrup (or sweetener of choice), chopped banana, raisins, berries, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, etc.

Steps:

  • 1.Place the milk and water in a medium pot or saucepan, and then stir in the amaranth, rinsed quinoa, polenta, salt, and optional spices. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15-18 minutes, or until the grains are tender and the mixture has reached the consistency of cream of wheat-creamy but not too soupy. Stir occasionally while cooking, scraping the bottom of the pot to avoid sticking. Stir more frequently towards the end as the mixture thickens. 2.Remove from the heat, and either serve immediately or portion into individual servings, and then cool, cover, and refrigerate for future breakfasts. To serve, drizzle with maple syrup and/or any other toppings of choice. When reheating, loosen with extra milk, stirring as the porridge warms to incorporate the milk and make creamy again. Notes *Even when a package of quinoa indicates that it has been pre-rinsed, I recommend rinsing again to eliminate any chance of a bitter taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Steel-cut oats take longer to cook but have a chewier texture, while rolled oats cook more quickly and have a softer texture. Quick-cooking oats are the most processed and cook the fastest, but they also have the least flavor.
  • Use a variety of liquids: Water is the traditional liquid for porridge, but you can also use milk, nut milk, or even fruit juice. Using a combination of liquids can create a more flavorful porridge.
  • Add flavorings: Spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, can add warmth and flavor to porridge. You can also add dried fruits, nuts, or seeds for a crunchy texture and extra nutrients.
  • Cook porridge slowly: Porridge should be cooked slowly over low heat to prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning. Stir the porridge frequently to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve porridge with your favorite toppings: Porridge can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or honey. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or cream for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

Porridge is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile breakfast option that can be enjoyed all winter long. With a little creativity, you can create a porridge that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting breakfast, give porridge a try.
