GREEN BEANS PORRIDGE RECIPE

This is a favourite dish around tea time.

Among the ingredients you need to make GREEN BEANS PORRIDGE are:

Green beans

Brown Sugar 

(although somehow it doesn't look too brown in the pic)

Screwpine leaves (a.k.a. pandanus leaves)

Ingredients:-

1/2 cup green beans

1500 ml (approx) water

1 large or 2 small screwpine leaves (knotted like the pic)

3/4 cup coconut milk

Brown sugar to taste

Salt to taste

Method:-

1. In a medium saucepan, add green beans, about 1000 ml water and the knotted screwpine leaves. Bring to boil on high heat.

 

2. Boil until the green beans break/split.(If too much water evaporates during or at the end of  the process, add more water from the reserved 500 ml. Ensure there is at least an inch or so of water above the level of the green beans before going to step 3)

3. Reduce heat to medium and add the coconut milk. If using coconut cream, use about half the recipe. Stir to mix well. Bring to a simmer.

4. Stir in brown sugar to desired sweetness. (try 2-3 tbsp for starters)
5. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt or to taste.

6. Ready to eat. Final consistency should not be too watery nor too thick. Remove screwpine leaves before serving in bowl. Serve hot with a side of a couple of pieces of cream cracker biscuits, to be coarsely broken into the bowl just prior to eating (optional).

Happy Trying!
