Instructions

  1. Assemble your ingredients!
  2. Wash, peel and cut the plantain into small pieces. It is ok if there is some skin still left on the plantains.
  3. Wash, peel and cut the carrot into small pieces.
  4. In a blender, combine the plantain, carrot, and 2 cups of water.
  5. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  6. In a small saucepan, place the star anise and the cinnamon stick in 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. There should be little bubbles forming around the perimeter of the saucepan.
  7. Add the evaporated milk and the coconut milk to the saucepan.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and add the plantain and carrot puree.
  9. Stir until completely combined. The porridge will thicken slightly.
  10. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes or until the plantain is completely cooked. The porridge should be smooth and creamy.
  11. Take a taste. If the porridge tastes a little grainy, it will need more cooking time.
  12. Add the vanilla and sugar. Stir to combine.
  13. Garnish with nutmeg and ground cinnamon if desired.
  14. Serve warm.
