Lingonberry porridge



Lingonberries

This dish is eaten in Finland and you can even buy it ready in a grocery store. The dish brings back my childhood memories. You can eat is as lunch, dinner or dessert.

 

1 l water

3 dl lingonberries (also known as cowberries)
2 dl semolina
1 dl sugar (for sweeter version use 2 dl)

Boil the lingonberries for 10 minutes and add the semolina to the water mixing the lingonberry water at the same time. Add the sugar and boil for 5 more minutes. Let the porridge to cool down and mix it with a mixer or hand mixer. I used only 1,5 dl of semolina and the porridge was left rather watery so I think 2 dl should be better for a more firm consistency.

Mix the porridge with a mixer.
