Playing with Farina
May. 11th, 2007 09:30 amI received a package of Bob's Red Mill brown rice farina (hot cereal) from a friend the other week. Here's a quick recipe I devised with it:
1 cup cereal
3 cups water
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, diced or sliced
1 cup vanilla yogurt
Disregard instructions on farina package. Mix cereal, water and salt in saucepan, bring to boil, stirring frequently with wisk. After boiling, reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently with wisk.
Turn heat off. Add butter, stir until melted and combined. Add yogurt, stir. Serve.
Now, we had it as a side dish with some barbecue ham, but I also had it the next morning, reheated in a skillet to dry it out some, and it was pretty tasty. It has the consistancy of grits or cream of wheat, and I guess you could alter it to be either sweet or savory (change the yogurt to plain, add cheese or onion to make it savory), or add fruit to it for something more dessert-like, but we enjoyed it.
