Icelandic rice pudding is a dessert,but salty rather than sweet,in the same way that porridge in the UK often is. The contrast between the slightly salty pudding and the sweet cinnamon sugar is lovely.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup medium-grain rice

  • 1 litre milk

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 50g cold butter

  • ¾ cup caster sugar

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Step1

    Rinse the rice and place in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the rice by 1cm and bring to a simmer. Once simmering,add the milk and bring to a simmer again. Simmer,stirring occasionally,for about 45 minutes until the rice has a porridge-like texture (it should hold its own shape and not spread like a risotto). Add the raisins and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Stir through the butter just before serving. You can also place a pat of butter on top of the warm pudding.

  2. Step2

    Combine caster sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle very generously over individual serves of the pudding.
