Swedish Rice porridge

Ingredients

Porridge rice or pearl rice. Water Whole milk Salt Cinnamon stick (optional)

Type of rice

You need to use short grain pearl rice. If you can´t find this you can use sushi rice or risotto rice. Don`tt use long-grain rices like basmati, they do not form the stickiness needed for porridge.

Step-1

Melt the butter in your pan.

Step-2

Add the rice, water, salt, to a medium-sized pot.

Step-3

Cook the rice-water mixture on high heat so it starts to boil. Next, reduce the heat to medium so it simmers. Cook it for about 10 minutes and stir once in a while.

Step-4

Add the milk and continue to boil on medium heat for around 30 minutes. Make sure to stir it so it does not burn.
