Step 1 of 5
Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge
Add 2½ cups water and the coconut milk to a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
While it heats, whisk the cornmeal and 1½ cups water together in a bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Once the pot boils, whisk in the cornmeal mixture and continue whisking for 1 minute, ensuring no lumps. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
In the final 5 minutes, stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
Step 5
Remove from heat and sweeten with condensed milk to taste. Serve hot.
