Champorado (chocolate rice porridge)

noemi — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 10:41:05 +0000

Dear readers,

Here is the recipe for the day from pinoyfoodblog.com. If you are looking for a particular recipe, click the link, pinoyfoodblog.com and use the search feature on the right sidebar near the top . I’m sorry if I don’t get to send you a recipe every day of the week. One of the most popular Filipino breakfast fare is the Champorado (chocolate rice porridge). The original recipe is made with soft-boiled rice and flavored with Tableas de Cacao which are bitter-sweet chocolate tablets made of freshly roasted chocolate mixed with milk and sugar. Champorado is usually served with a side dish of fried or smoked seasoned meats. I prefer to eat it with danggit (dried fish from Cebu). Childhood memories of eating champorado involved pouring evaporated milk in circles over the bowl of champorado. Just thinking of it makes me feel so warm. I found out about Antonio Pueo’s Double Chocolate champorado mix and it taste just as the original recipe. The “made with real Spanish chocolate” is very true. It’s quite handy to have this champorado mix around during the rainy days.

If you want to make your own champorado, here is my recipe:

4 to 5 pieces of unsweetened Tablea boiled in 1/2 cup water (melted)
1 cup rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup brown sugar

Procedure

1. Cook rice in a saucepan with water.

2. Stir constantly.

3. When rice is a bit transparent , add the melted tablea and sugar.

4. Cook until rice is tender. Adjust sugar to taste. If rice mixture is too dry, add a little more water. I prefer my champorado to be a bit soupy.

5. Serve in a bowl and place swirls of evaporated milk on top.

Fresh Buko Vendor

noemi — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 11:41:58 +0000

Dear readers,

Anyway, I bought 15 pieces of buko yesterday. I buy it ahead of time because the price of buko shoots up on New Years Eve. The demand is just too high. It normally costs 17 pesos a piece but yesterday, each buko cost 22 pesos. They cut the husk for you and even offer to grate the coconut meat. I just wanted it chopped and the coconut water poured into our coleman water container. I brought a large basin (actually a batya) for the coconuts.

And here is the buko in the storage area.

When I passed by late this afternoon, the stock of fresh buko is almost gone. Everyone seems to be making Buko Salad.——————
