Ingredients

Plantain Porridge Ingredients

1 large green plantain Wash, peel and chopped in quarters
2 cups fresh coconut milk
1 stick cinnamon Or you could use 2 cinnamon leaves
0.25 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
0.25 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups water
condensed milk Sweeten to taste

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

In a blender, add the plantain, grated nutmeg, along with one cup and a half of coconut milk. Blend until smooth.
Add the water to a pot with the cinnamon stick (or leaves) and salt. Put to boil on medium heat.
Once the water is boiled, pour the blended mixture into the boiling water. Stir continuously.
Add the rest of the coconut milk.
As the porridge starts thickening, turn the heat down.
Let the porridge cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the vanilla and sweeten to taste with condensed milk.

Notes

Use one cup of water if you like your porridge to be thick. I like mine a little runny. Instead of cinnamon stick or leaf, you can also use ground cinnamon.
