Ribel

Description

In the past, ribel used to be a meal eaten by the poor, usually for breakfast, but it all changed in the 1970s, and now many restaurants serve this traditional Lichtensteiner dish. Just like polenta, ribel is made from cornmeal that is cooked in boiling water and milk, and once cooked, it is roasted with butter. Although its flavor is savory, it can be eaten with sweet accompaniments such as fruit sauces and compotes.
