Directions
I was looking for a recipe for a perfect tender rice pudding of the ideal consistency for quite a long time. And I’ve finally found it. The recipe is extremely easy and surefire.
Before you start cooking, see these secrets of the perfect rice pudding collected by me and learn the basic rules of its cooking.
I love rice pudding with vanilla – I just adore how these small dark seeds look on a white rice background. If you don’t have vanilla pods at hand, use vanilla essence or sugar (1 tsp/1package respectively).
In this recipe I suggest you try serving this pudding with a blackberry compote made from stewed blackberries. Such combination is beneficial to taste (a sweet pudding and sour sweet berries) and color (a white pudding and a burgundy compote). Any kind of seasonal berries or fruits can be used for a compote: apricots, plums, peaches (with some lemon acid added if too sweet), berry mix, you name it.
According to this recipe, the compote is made from berries or fruit stewed with some sugar.
The recipe is wonderful! Tender rice served for breakfast or dessert – you must try it!

Meanwhile let’s prepare the blackberry compote. In a pot, place the berries and sugar. Place uncovered over low heat. The berries have to warm up gradually and release juices, but not boil. Stir occasionally, try not to break the berries.10-15 min after the berries will release many juices, that will boil. As soon as juices have boiled, remove from heat immediately. The compote is done! How to serve: Serve warm or of room temperature. Pour berry or fruit compote over, garnish with mint leaves. How to keep: Can be kept in a tightly closed container (otherwise the top may get dried) in the fridge for 2-3 days. |
