La Bouillie

Ingredients

• 1 litre of water
• about 1 cup of rice or wheat
• 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (this should be pure crushed peanuts, no additives, no sugar)
• 3 tablespoons of wheat, millet or corn flour
• curdled milk, or lemon juice from one lemon (optional, but a delicious addition!)
• whole milk, no more than ¼ litre

Directions

1. Boil one litre of water.
2. Put about one cup of rice or wheat into the water.
3. Mix 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter with a cup of lukewarm water, just enough to obtain a liquid solution, and pour into the water.
4. Mix 3 tablespoons flour (wheat, corn or millet) with lukewarm water in order to dissolve it thoroughly also into a liquid solution, and pour the liquid into the boiling mixture.
5. Add curdled milk (roaba) or if you lack some, add lemon juice until a sour taste and white brightness is obtained.
6. Add sugar according to taste.
7. Add whole milk to thin it out if the consistency becomes thicker than oatmeal.
8. Wait 10 – 15 minutes and serve.
