SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE





TO ALL WE COOKIN FANS AND FAMS!!! HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A PRODUCTIVE CARNAVAL MONDAY. WANNA SHARE WITH YOU ONE OF MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST RECIPES. SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE. REMEMBER, YOU GOT IT RIGHT HERE ON WE COOKIN' ECLECTIC VINCY CUISINE.
SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE

INGREDIENTS:
2 CUPS WATER
1 CUP SWEET POTATO FLOUR
½-1 CUP COCONUT MILK
¼ CUP HONEY OR BROWN SUGAR
2 CINNAMON STICKS
¼ TSP. CINNAMON POWDER
¼ TSP. GINGER POWDER *Optional
1 TBS. REAL BUTTER (NOT MARGARINE)


PROCESS:
In a cooking pot add 1 cup of water, ¼ cup honey or brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, stir together and heat until liquid comes to a boil. In a small mixing bowl add 1 cup of water to 1cup of sweet potato flour, stir until flour and water become thick liquid without lumps. Add the ¼ tsp. of cinnamon powder, ¼ tsp. of ginger powder *optional, to the liquefied potato flour. Once you’ve stirred all these ingredients together, and there are no lumps; slowly add everything to the boiling water. Stir with a wooden spoon, lowering heat as the liquid thickens. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. As the porridge thickens you can add ½ to 1 cup of coconut milk, stirring until all blended in mixture. Let simmer another 5 minutes, add ½ tbs. butter. Remove from heat, serve in a bowl with a pat of butter.
You can also add fresh fruits like banana or fresh berries as a side to porridge.

Sweet Potato Porridge is best served hot for breakfast. However, it becomes a tasty desert when chilled.
