Rizogalo [Greek Rice Pudding] with Salted Caramel Sauce and Pistachio
Written by Felix Spirason
A super-easy, creamy, rice-based greek dessert that will have everyone coming back for more.
Cook: 40 minutes Serves: 4 portions
Ingredients:
Rizogalo
100g Aborio rice
1200ml milk
60g sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pistachio [to serve]
Cinnamon [optional]
Orange/Lemon zest [optional]
Caramel Sauce
75g butter
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp milk
To Prepare:
Rizogalo
Heat the milk and rice in a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat. Stir constantly, until just below boiling point. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pudding thickens a little and the rice becomes tender. (Make sure when cooking, simmer at low temperatures so as not to burn the milk, and the pudding doesn’t stick to the pan!)
[Optional] Add your zest now to add extra flavour.
Remove the pan from your stove and add your sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until sugar dissolves.
If serving now - feel free to portion up and enjoy!
If serving later - transfer into a large bowl and place inside another large bowl filled with ice and stir until cooled, then serve into individual bowls and place into the fridge to store.
[Optional] Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and add as many pistachios as you’d like.
Caramel Sauce
Melt butter in a small saucepan, and add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
Add milk and mix until smooth.
Pour onto your Rizogalo and enjoy!
