📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Once considered a poor person's meal, ribel was reevaluated as a traditional dish and began appearing on restaurant menus from the 1970s onward. It's made by simmering cornmeal in milk and water, then toasting it golden in butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Traditionally eaten for breakfast with apple compote or jam, paired well with coffee.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 2)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  4. Heat butter in a pan and toast the mixture, breaking it up, until golden.

  5. Plate and serve with sugar or jam if desired.
