Champorado (filipino rice porridge with dark chocolate)
Porridge
The onset of the chilly weather and the disastrous typhoon in the Philippines reminded me of Champorado, a rice porridge with dark chocolate, served hot during heavy rainy days for breakfast or sometimes as snack in Manila. <br /> <br />Champorado is made of glutinous rice or what is popularly available here in the U.S. as sushi rice. Before turning off the heat, the melted dark chocolate and sugar are added. The traditional recipe uses a dark chocolate tablet (about the size of a dollar coin and 1/2-inch in thickness) imported from Mexico brought in by the traders. Today, dark chocolate tablets are made locally in the Philippines. <br /> <br />Serve the Champorado hot with condensed milk and a side dish of Fried <br />Dried Garlic Anchovies.
