MILCHREIS (GERMAN RICE PUDDING)



Milchreis (German Rice Pudding) image

This is a typical German recipe for Rice Pudding. For this recipe, you don't want to substitute brown rice as it won't get creamy. It is typical to sprinkle a cinnamon and sugar on top of each serving, though some prefer to add fruit, with cherries a popular choice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Choose a short-grain or medium-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, for a creamy and flavorful risotto.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in butter or oil before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to make risotto is key to its flavor. Use a combination of chicken or vegetable broth, white wine, and/or milk for a rich and savory taste.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, stirring constantly. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevents it from becoming too soupy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Stir the risotto constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and ensures that it cooks evenly.
  • Add cheese and butter at the end: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese and a knob of butter for a creamy and flavorful finish.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.
