Spiced Scandinavian Rice Porridge
Ingredients
  • 8 whole green cardamom pods, lightly crushed to remove seeds, discarding pods
  • 1/2 gallon whole milk
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or amount desired
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Crush the cardamom seeds into a fine powder using a rolling pin, then add them to a large, deep pot.
2
Add milk, rice, and 1 cup of unsalted butter to the pot; cook over medium heat while constantly stirring for approximately 2.5 hours.
3
If the mixture starts to boil or overheat, reduce the heat as needed to prevent this from happening.
4
Stir in sugar and continue cooking until the mixture thickens, taking around 30 minutes longer.
5
Transfer the cooked rice mixture to a serving dish.
6
Add an additional 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter on top and let it melt completely before serving.
7
Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the dish for garnish.
