Haiti: Discover Rice Porridge, a Dinner Essential

In Haiti, rice is a staple of the cuisine. It’s enjoyed in all its forms, from sticky rice to diri ak djon djon. But in the evening, there’s nothing like rice porridge for a light and soothing dinner.

Prepared with well-cooked rice, milk, sugar, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, this creamy porridge is a true delight. Some people add butter or lemon zest for added flavor.

Rice porridge is prepared with:

Rice cooked until tender and melting.

Milk (condensed, evaporated, or coconut milk for extra creaminess).

Sugar and sometimes a little salt to balance the flavors.

Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla for an exquisite taste.

Served hot, it evokes memories of family meals and childhood. Simple, nourishing, and comforting, rice porridge remains a deeply rooted tradition in Haitian homes.
