Food Fridays: Rice Phala (Malawi)
Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day - but you wouldn’t know it from reading our Food Friday posts. The Peace Corps Northeast team sincerely apologizes for the lack of quality breakfast food recipes we’ve posted, and we are ready to make up for it with a tasty rice porridge from Malawi. Try it with sliced fruit, or a little brown sugar. And while it’s simmering, check out our Secondary English Teaching openings for Malawi in June 2016.
Recipe (From Returned Volunteer Group Friends of Malawi):
1 cup uncooked rice
2 ½ cups water
½ tsp. salt
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. margarine
sugar
- Bring water to a boil and add rice.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add milk and butter, cover and cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add sugar to taste.
