Pine Nut Porridge

Cooking Instructions

1. Soak the brown and white rice in water for at least 5 hours before preparing this dish. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup water with the drained rice and mix to get coarse but even bits of the rice. Put the rice in a heavy pot and keep aside.

2. Without rinsing out the residue of rice in the blender, combine 1/2 cup of water and the pine nuts, and mix to get coarse but even bits of the pine nuts. Add to the pot with the rice.

3. Pour 5 cups of water into the blender, rinse out the remaining residue, and pour it into the pot to cook the porridge. Stir constantly and cook over a medium flame for 20 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add a little water. But keep in mind that the porridge should not be watery. Cook for 7 more minutes over a low flame and stir constantly. By now the rice should be cooked and the porridge should be rich. Use salt to taste and serve while hot.

4. Save leftover porridge in zippered plastic bags in one-person portions and freeze. Reheat the bag in boiling water to enjoy this nutritious porridge another day.
