This is the world’s longest Christmas porridge table 🥣❤️ Christmas Porridge à la Norway? See recipe below👇
The table is set every year in Norway, in the charming Christmas town of Mosjøen in the Helgeland region.
The whole community gathers for the coziest breakfast of the season, set along the old wooden street of Sjøgata.
The town’s many Christmas elves cook up almost 1,000 kilos of porridge for young and old Christmas guests alike.
Recipe 🥣 Santa’s Porridge – the Norwegian way ✨🥣
You’ll need:
200 ml short-grain rice
400 ml water
1 litre milk
1 ts salt
Sugar
Cinnamon
Butter
How to make it:
1. Bring the rice and water to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, until the rice absorbs most of the water.
2. Add the milk and bring to a boil before lowering the heat. Let the porridge simmer on low heat for an hour or until it's thick and creamy. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn.
3. Season with a little salt.
Serve with a pat of butter and sugar and cinnamon on top!
