RIZ AU LAIT ~ FRENCH RICE PUDDING



Riz au Lait ~ French Rice Pudding image

Riz au lait is another way of saying French rice pudding. It's just made without egg but with plenty of milk and sugar and it's so gosh darn easy and impossible to stop eating. Quite possibly the thing we love most about the French.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup uncooked short-grain rice
4 to 5 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 small orange, preferably organic (very finely zested and juiced (at least 1/3 cup or 80 ml juice and 1 to 2 teaspoons zest) )
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups whole milk, half-and-half, or half milk and half light or heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Softly whipped cream, creme fraiche, or marmalade (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under running water until the water runs clear, about 1 minute.
  • Then place the rice in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the rice. Wipe out the pan and return the rice to the pan along with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, and the orange zest. Slice the vanilla bean along its center and scrape out the seeds, adding both the pod and the seeds to the pan, or add the vanilla extract. Pour the milk over the rice, stir, and place over medium heat. Bring it just to a boil and then immediately turn down the heat to as low as possible.
  • Cover the saucepan, leaving it slightly ajar, and let the pudding gently simmer, stirring often so the rice neither sticks to the bottom of the pan nor bubbles up and over 20 to 35 minutes, depending on the type of the rice you're using. Keep watch as you don't want the mixture to cook too long or dry but is thick and very creamy and the rice is tender and has absorbed almost all of the liquid.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and carefully remove and discard the vanilla bean. Add the butter and 3 tablespoons sugar and stir until the butter is melted and well blended into the rice, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Carefully, gradually, and vigorously stir in the orange juice until well blended, about 1 minute. Taste and, if you want the pudding a little sweeter, add the last tablespoon of sugar.
  • Spoon the riz au lait into 6 dessert bowls and serve warm or cold, keeping in mind the flavors will be somewhat muted if served cold.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4.2 oz. (120 g) Arborio rice
3 cups + 3 1/2 tablespoons (750 ml) whole milk
1 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons (250 ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (55 g) granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean
1/3 cup (75 g) granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 g) salted butter
3 1/2 tablespoons (50 ml) heavy cream

Steps:

  • split a vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape off the seeds with the tip of a knife. Rinse the rice thoroughly with running cold water to remove the starch. Immerse it in a large saucepan of boiling water and simmer/blanch for 3 minutes. Using a colander or a fine-mesh sieve, drain the rice.
  • Pour milk, heavy cream, place both the vanilla pod and seeds in a medium-to-large saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour in the drained rice, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring regularly with a wooden spatula.
  • Add sugar and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool.
  • pour sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat. Don't use utensils. Just shake the pot over your stove until the caramel gets an amber color. Remove from the heat, pour the warm cream, constantly stirring (be careful of the splash). Add butter and mix for about one minute over low heat.
  • discard the vanilla bean once the rice has cooled and divide riz au lait into dessert cups/bowls. Pour hot caramel over the dessert.

RIZ AU LAIT (FRENCH RICE PUDDING)



Riz Au Lait (French Rice Pudding) image

Mmmmh! Milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Those aromas will take you back to your childhood. This dish is great as dessert or even for breakfast. There are so many variations on rice pudding; fruits, nuts, exotic spices like cardammon, star anise, clove...I like them all. But this simple version is the one I like the most. It tastes best with whole milk. I have substituted some of the milk with heavy cream because I had some left over and that made it even more creamy. It tastes great hot and cold.
