Manoomin porridge, also known as wild rice porridge,[1] is a breakfast dish in Minnesotan cuisine. It was inspired by Native American foodways, as seen with the usage of wild rice (manoomin).[2] The dish is a porridge with wild rice, dairy (or dairy alternatives), dried fruits, nuts, and maple syrup.[3][4][5] The dish was invented at Hell's Kitchen restaurant in Minneapolis, but can be found at restaurants around the state.[6][7][8]
