Serves 3 to 5

Ingredients

9 small green bananas

3 cups coconut milk

1 cup hot water

½ teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Nutmeg

1 tablespoon Vanilla

½ cup Sugar

Instructions

• Peel the green bananas and chop each into small pieces
• Place in a blender with 3 cups of coconut milk
• Blend as fine as possible
• Pour the mixture into a deep pot over medium heat
• Cook while constantly stirring, the stirring thickens up the porridge and loosens up anything that is sticking to the bottom
• Cook 15 minutes, as the banana absorbs the coconut milk it will get very thick
• After 15 minutes add the 1 cup of hot water and stir when completely incorporated turn the flames to low
• Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes on low, at this point the stirring does not have to be as rigorous
• Add salt, cinnamon and nutmeg
• In the last 5 minutes, when the porridge is almost done add vanilla and sugar
• Taste for flavor and if it is satisfactory serve.
