RICE PORRIDGE WITH SQUASH AND BROWN BUTTER



Rice Porridge With Squash and Brown Butter image

This recipe for a rich, winter-y rice porridge comes from Minh Phan, the owner of Porridge + Puffs in Los Angeles. Ms. Phan is a porridge whisperer, creating all kinds of complex, beautiful rice bowls, and her velvet porridge rich with roasted squash is no exception. To make a simple version of it at home, roast a mix of squash then purée it with brown butter and a little half and half. Stir the mixture into loose, cooked rice for a comforting meal you can eat plain, topped with pickled vegetables and herbs, some browned sausage or dressed salad leaves. Ms. Phan lets the cooked rice rest overnight so the grains absorb the seasoning evenly, but if you're in a rush, you can go ahead and eat it right away.

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups water
1 cup medium-grain white rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 to 2 pounds mixed squash, such as honeynut, kabocha or butternut
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces unsalted butter
1/2 cup half-and-half
Handful of fresh herbs, such as mint, lemon balm or basil, to garnish
Pickled vegetables, to garnish

Steps:

  • In a pot, add the cold water and rice, and place over medium heat. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to keep rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan, then turn down to low heat and simmer. When rice is tender and water is almost evaporated, about 20 minutes, season the rice, and stir well. Cool at room temperature, then transfer to the fridge overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 400. Halve the squash, then use a knife to remove the skin, and roughly chop squash into 2-inch pieces. Toss with oil, and spread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, and roast for 30 minutes, or until browned and tender all the way through.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, and simmer until the butter spatters and the milk solids turn brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Add the squash, browned butter and half-and-half to a blender and purée, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to get a very evenly smooth purée. Add a splash more water if needed to help the blades catch the squash.
  • After the rice has rested for about 8 hours, or overnight, warm it in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently with a splash of water. The porridge should be thick and shiny, but not soupy, with the texture of a soft risotto. When it is warm, add the squash purée, and stir well. Simmer everything together on low heat for about five minutes, then taste and season as needed with salt and pepper. Ladle hot porridge into bowls, and garnish with a mix of fresh herbs and pickled vegetables.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PORRIDGE

My mother used to make this recipe for me when I was a kid in Russia. It is good for breakfast with some milk, brown sugar, and raisins. You can also add some other spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hulled millet can be found in most health food stores. It is very healthy as it is a whole grain that contains lots of protein.

BROWN-BUTTER ORZO WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Brown-Butter Orzo With Butternut Squash image

In this autumnal one-pot meal, rice-shaped orzo is cooked with stock and butternut squash until it's tender and creamy, a little like risotto but without as much stirring. Brown butter, lemon zest and sage add depth of flavor, while red-pepper flakes give this zip and heat. An optional dollop of ricotta intensifies the creaminess but feel free to skip it for a lighter dish. This recipe also works well as a hearty side for roasted meats and fish.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     weekday, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (2 to 3), or use onion or leek
1 small (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (3 cups)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves, or 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary or marjoram, plus more for serving if you like
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
3 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
1 1/2 cup uncooked orzo
1 lemon, zested and halved
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium Dutch oven, or a large (12-inch) skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it doesn't burn.)
  • Stir in shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add squash, sage, a large pinch of salt, the 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and the 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, and cook until squash is golden at the edges and begins to soften, 12 to 17 minutes.
  • Add stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo, lemon zest and the 1 teaspoon salt. Cover the pan and simmer over medium-low heat until orzo is just tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 14 to 18 minutes, stirring once or twice. If the pan dries out before the orzo and squash are tender, add a splash or two of water.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in Parmesan. Taste and add more salt if needed, and a squeeze of lemon juice if the dish needs brightness. Dollop with ricotta if using, and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan and black pepper just before serving, garnishing the top with more red-pepper flakes and sage.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or kabocha squash are recommended, as they have a sweet and creamy flavor that pairs well with the brown butter and rice porridge.
  • Roast the squash beforehand: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and gives it a slightly caramelized flavor. It also helps to remove excess moisture.
  • Use high-quality butter: The brown butter is a key component of this recipe, so it's important to use a high-quality unsalted butter. Grass-fed butter has a richer flavor and is a good choice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the butter: If you overcrowd the pan, the butter will not brown evenly and may burn.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot for the porridge: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the porridge from sticking or burning.
  • Stir the porridge frequently: Stirring the porridge frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Season the porridge to taste: Once the porridge is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.

Conclusion:

This recipe for rice porridge with squash and brown butter is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall or winter breakfast or brunch. The roasted squash adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess, while the brown butter adds a nutty flavor. The porridge is also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying breakfast, give this recipe a try.
