SWEDISH RICE PORRIDGE



Swedish Rice Porridge image

This recipe comes courtesy of one the American Girls cookbooks. Specifically it comes from the Kirsten one and so is Swedish themed. Several of these recipes from all of the books are all time favorites of mine so I will post them here. Rice porridge, known as "Skansk grot" in Sweden, made pioneer settlers feel at home in America. This is a wonderful comfort food for a sickie or just for a rainy day.

SWEDISH SAFFRANSPANNKAKA - -SAFFRON CAKE



Swedish Saffranspannkaka - -Saffron Cake image

It's a Swedish specialty from a island called Gotland that my father's from. It's not a pancake--it's actually a saffron and rice porridge that is given the addition of almonds, cream, and eggs and poured in a dish and baked in the oven. It's served with whipped cream and a jam made from a special berry from the island called salmbar but mulberry is a good substitute. It should not be to dry or to moist = lagom in Swedish--it means just right. It can be served slightly warm or cold. I love it, hope you enjoy!!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup short-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/4 cups cream
1 cup milk
saffron strand (one envelope)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup almonds, skins removed and roughly chopped
5 eggs

Steps:

  • Boil the rice on low heat with salt and water until almost all the water is gone.
  • Blend in the cream and continue to boil, pour in the milk now and then to get a creamy porridge, takes about 30 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and stir in saffron strands, sugar and almonds.
  • I use a little vodka to dissolve the saffron in!
  • Stir up the eggs with a fork and stir them into the porridge; blend everything together.
  • Pour the batter into a buttered oven dish about 11 x 15 inches.
  • Bake at 225°C/435°F about 30 minutes, test with a stick--it should not be too dry or too moist.
  • When serving, cut it up directly from the dish and serve with whipped cream and jam.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is the best choice for risotto because it absorbs more liquid and becomes creamy.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use flavorful broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the risotto. Use a good-quality broth that is packed with flavor.
  • Add the liquid in stages: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it in stages, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to cook evenly and develop a creamy texture.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Be patient: Risotto takes time to cook. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with undercooked rice.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect risotto at home. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give risotto a try.
