Cornmeal Porridge is a traditional Jamaican recipe for a classic sweetened cornmeal porridge served either for breakfast or as a comforting snack and flavoured with spices. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Jamaican version of: Cornmeal Porridge.
Add the cornmeal to a bowl then pour over just enough water to cover the cornmeal. Mix with a fork then allow the mixture to sit.
Bring the 1l of water to a boil, reduce the neat to a medium then stir the cornmeal and water mix before stirring into the boiling water. Cook for about 3 minutes, whilst stirring continually (you must stir continually, or the mixture will become lumpy). If the mixture begins to 'plop' and splash turn the heat down (it will be very painful if this splashes on you).
Cover the pot and allow to simmer very gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Turn the heat off then stir-in all the remaining ingredients (except the nutmeg). Adjust the sweetness then serve ladled into bowls. Sprinkle the nutmeg on top and serve.
