Today I want to offer you an unusual option for preparing a simple and familiar dish from childhood - rice porridge. Let's make Belgian rice porridge!
Tasty and healthy rice porridge is not just a breakfast option for the Belgians, it is a national dessert with its own traditions and cooking secrets.
Belgian rice porridge is tender, sweet, always cooked with milk and with the addition of spicy spices. However, its main highlight is the final touch, which gives the dish a unique national flavor - a “crust” of cane sugar on the surface. Cane sugar is scattered over the surface of hot rice porridge just before serving. The heat melts and melts the sugar, the syrup permeates the porridge, giving it the aroma and taste of caramel. It seems like a minor addition, but it turns out unusual and very tasty! Try it!
