Instructions
- In a blender, add the plantain, grated nutmeg, along with one cup and a half of coconut milk. Blend until smooth.

- As the porridge starts thickening, turn the heat down.
- Let the porridge cook for 5 to 10 minutes

Notes
- Use one cup of water if you like your porridge to be thick. I like mine a little runny.
