I won’t go into too much detail here, I’ll leave that for a post on the cornmeal “Food Profile”
 
There are two types of cornmeal; yellow and white.I used the yellow one for this recipe. In addition I used cornmeal not corn flour.Corn flour is much smoother, but corn meal is grainy and has a crunchy taste.It is preferred for this recipe.
 
In cooking school my teachers made a number of recipes with cornmeal and that inspired me to do something different with mine. That’s how I decided to make this porridge recipe, I searched some recipes online for ideas and I fell in love with this Caribbean porridge recipe which I adapted a bit. This recipe has become a staple meal at home and I’ve even served it as a desert to guests a number of times.I’ve had it hot and cold and loved it both ways. 
 
So if you would like to introduce this meal into your home, your are very welcome to try this recipe. Children will love it especially if you decorate it with fruits; give it some colour.Oh and before I forget it’s healthy and filling.
