Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Cooked leftover brown rice works especially well in this recipe. Its slightly nutty flavor pairs naturally with coconut, dates, and cardamom. Stir the porridge halfway through cooking. This distributes the dates and coconut evenly and helps the mixture thicken without becoming too dry around the edges. You can replace the brown rice with another cooked grain. In addition, other dried fruits can replace the dates if you want to vary the flavor. The porridge thickens slightly as it cools. Therefore, serve it immediately if you prefer a softer consistency. Add a little extra coconut milk if it becomes too thick.Wine Advice
For a dessert-style serving, a lightly sweet Muscat complements the dates, coconut, and aromatic cardamom. For breakfast, however, coffee or tea is naturally the better choice.Nutrition values
