The Almond Porridge – Christmas food in Iceland
Comments are closed.
One of the traditional Christmas foods of Iceland is the so-called Almond Porridge. It is a simple rice porridge but according to Christmas tradition we put one almond in it in the end and the one who is lucky enough to get it, gets a gift from Santa.
Your Friend In Reykjavik & family has Almond Porridge for lunch on Christmas Eve, which is our main day of celebration and when we open our presents.
When we were growing up this used to be the entree, but we decided to turn it into lunch as it is very filling and we really need to make room for that smoked glazed ham :).
To make the Almond Porridge takes about an hour in total, so prepare yourself to stay in the kitchen during that time as it can easily burn.
