Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Scandinavian Rice Porridge.
Step 1
Start by crushing the cardamom pods with a rolling pin until the seeds are finely ground. This will release their fragrant oils and enhance the flavor of your porridge. In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, combine the crushed cardamom, whole milk, uncooked white rice, and a generous amount of unsalted butter. Stir the mixture gently as you bring it to a medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to prevent the milk from boiling over or scorching. Let this simmer for about 90 minutes, enjoying the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen. After the rice has cooked and the mixture has thickened, stir in the sugar and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. This will add a lovely sweetness to your porridge. Once done, pour the creamy rice mixture into a serving bowl. Top it off with a few tablespoons of butter, letting it melt into the warm porridge. Finally, dust the top with ground cinnamon for that perfect finishing touch. Serve your Scandinavian rice porridge warm or chilled, and savor the comforting flavors that make this dish a beloved classic.
