Risengrød

Cultural Context

Risengrød, a traditional Danish rice porridge, has roots in the Nordic countries, often enjoyed during winter months and festive occasions. It's a comforting dish that evokes nostalgia and warmth, typically served with cinnamon and sugar, sometimes even a hidden almond for good luck. Today, it remains a staple in Danish households, especially during Christmas, showcasing the simplicity and heartiness of Scandinavian cuisine.

1

Mix brown sugar with cinnamon in a bowl and stir well to combine. Set aside as this will be used to top the pudding later.

2

Add rice and water to a pot over high heat. Boil for 2 mins and then add all the milk at once.

3

Add a bit of salt, stir and reduce the heat to medium.

4

Cook the pudding for 35 mins stirring frequently to make sure that no rice burns at the bottom.

5

After 35 mins the rice should look like a porridge and be fully cooked so you can take it off the heat.

6

Divide into two serving bowls immediately and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar topping.

7

Add a cube of butter on top and let it melt before eating.
