JAMAICAN RICE PORRIDGE
This Jamaican rice porridge is creamy, hearty and the perfect meal for fueling your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup White Rice
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Condensed Milk
- 1 can of Coconut Milk
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp Vanilla
- 3 - 3 ½ cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
Instructions
- Wash your rice until it runs clear.
- To a pot, add your rice, coconut milk, cinnamon stick, salt and 1 cup of water *(see note). Cover and bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Once it comes to a boil, slightly shift the pot cover to allow steam to release so that it does not boil over.
- Ensure to check on the pot periodically and stir to avoid the rice from burning.
- Once the water reduces, add in 2 cups of water and cook until your rice is tender.
- Add in your milk, condensed milk, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon powder, your remaining 1/2 cup of water (if needed) and cook until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and add in your vanilla.
Notes
If you prefer, you can add all your water at the beginning. I gradually add in water so that I know how much water I would need depending on how thick I want it, but you don't have to do that.
