Risgrøt | Norwegian Rice Porridge

November 30, 2017 By Therese 6 Comments

Try the Norwegian traditional Rice Porridge this Christmas- combined with sugar, cinnamon and butter this is the perfect Christmas treat!


Rice Porridge is served all year with different condiments – during summer it’s usually served with cured meats and Norwegian flat bread and during Christmas it’s served alone. Remember to use any left overs for the Danish “Ris alamande” or the Norwegian “Riskrem”

Risgrøt | Rice Porridge

Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

2 dl porridge rice/ risotto rice

4 dl water

1 liter milk

1 tsp salt

4 tsp cinnamon

4 tsp sugar

4 knobs of butter

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil and add the rice.
  2. Reduce the heat slightly and let simmer for 10 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
  3. Add milk and bring to a boil.
  4. Let the porridge simmer for an hour, until thick and creamy and stir once in a while to avoid burning.
  5. Salt to taste and serve with a knob of butter, cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar.

    Hi Therese, Please, forgive me if this was asked before but what is dl means in recipe measurement? 😊😌.
    Happy Holidays to You and Yours 😉🙂

    PS: I just love the snow falling on your website. Very cozy and calming!

      No worries- dl is short for decilitre, which is the way we measure here instead of cups! You can easily convert both using google 🙂

      I’ve been thinking about having a converter on my site for a long time now, so perhaps I have to get around to it! 🙂

      And thank you- it is indeed very cozy 😄 Happy holidays to you too! Thanks for reaching out!

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
