Tüarka Rebel is a beloved snack in Liechtenstein, made from coarse cornmeal soaked in milk and slowly roasted in butter until it breaks into golden crumbs. This dish showcases the country's affinity for hearty, comforting foods, making it a staple in many households. Typically served hot, Tüarka Rebel is perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Bring the milk, water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the cornmeal, take the pan off the heat, cover and leave for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge. The grains swell and absorb all the liquid.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat and add the soaked cornmeal.
Cook for 25–35 minutes, turning and breaking it up constantly with a flat spatula. Add a little more butter whenever the pan looks dry. The mass slowly falls apart into small crumbs that are golden and crisp outside and soft inside.
Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed.
Serve hot. In Liechtenstein and the Rhine valley Ribel is eaten for breakfast or supper with apple sauce or stewed fruit and a cup of coffee for dipping, or with cheese for a savory version.
