EASY FARINA CREAM

Farina, or Cream of Wheat is known as 'Harina del negrito' in the DR and it is a very popular breakfast dish with kids and even adults. What makes this farina recipe such a special comforting dish is its combination of spices.

– 3 cup milk (whole or skim) – 1½ cup farina, (cream of wheat) – ½ teaspoon salt – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – 3 sticks cinnamon – ¼ teaspoon clove powder – ½ cup sugar (white, granulated) – 2 tablespoon butter (salted) – ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (freshly-grated)

Ingredients:

Step 1:

In a medium-sized saucepan combine milk, cream of wheat, salt, vanilla, cinnamon sticks, clove powder, 2 cups of water, and half the sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and taste, add more sugar if you find it necessary  Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 2:

When it breaks the boil, add butter and lower the heat to very low. Simmer stirring until it reaches the desired consistency, taking into consideration it will get much thicker when it cools down. I suggest a thick but still liquid consistency.Heat over medium heat stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Step 3:

Remove from the heat and pour into individual servings, and sprinkle with the nutmeg. Serve warm.
