Recipe Cooking and Preparation Method

In Oven:

Grease an oven casserole well. Add rice, water, milk, blanched almond and salt, stir well. Put a few pats of butter on the top of the mixture. Simmer at 175 degrees Celsius for 1 ½ hours.

On Stove:

Bring water to boil in a saucepan with a thick bottom (porridge burns on the bottom easily). Add rice and cook until water is absorbed in the rice. Add milk and bring to the boil stirring frequently. Simmer at a low heat until cooked, approximately 30 - 40 minutes. Season with salt and a few pats of butter.

Food Serving Suggestion

Rice porridge can be served with butter, sugar and cinnamon or with warm or cold Prune Soup.

In Finland Rice Porridge is traditionally served on Christmas Eve morning. One blanched almond "hidden" in the porridge is believed to bring good luck for the person who finds it in his or her portion.
