Binignit is a sweet stew of fruit, tubers, and glutinous rice. It's rich, creamy, and delicious as a midday snack or after-meal dessert.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chanced upon some fresh purple yams on my weekly grocery shopping at Seafood City a few days ago. As these tubers are rarely available, I thought I'd take the opportunity to make binignit.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, oh boy, was I glad I did! The sweet coconut soup dessert turned out so good; I couldn't stop eating bowlful after bowlful throughout the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Binignit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Binignit is a type of rice gruel popular in the Visayan region. It's served either hot or cold and enjoyed as a dessert or midday snack. It's a filling meal during Holy Week, especially on Good Friday, when Catholics fast and refrain from meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although similar to ginataang halo-halo<\/a> in preparation and using coconut milk, tubers, saba bananas, sago pearls, and jackfruit, it traditionally includes landang,<\/em> a palm flour jelly balls made from the buli tree. It also uses milled glutinous rice (malagkit) instead of sticky rice balls or bilo-bilo<\/em> and muscovado sugar for its distinct flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
