Creamy Rice with Forest Berry Fruit
Creamy Rice with Forest Berry Fruit
(Riso e Latte con Frutti di Bosco)
 
 
Ingredients:

2/3 cup (120 grams) riso originario (this is short grained, but not as prized as some others. Feel free to use other kinds of rice, but not parboiled.)
1 pint (500 ml) low fat milk
2 vanilla beans (if you must, use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
2 tablespoons acacia or similar delicate honey
1/3 cup plain low fat yogurt
6 ounces (150 grams) mixed forest berry fruit
A few thin strips of orange zest trimmed form an organically grown orange or lemon
 
Directions:
 
Heat the milk in a nonstick pan with the vanilla beans, and when it comes to a boil add the rice.
 
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes.
 
Stir the honey into the rice, and then the yogurt, let the mixture cool, and chill it briefly in the refrigerator.

Look over the berry fruit set aside the prettiest examples of the various kinds (select at least a third of the fruit).
 
Use the remaining fruit to line the bottoms of 4 high-sided serving bowls (transparent glass will make for a pretty presentation).
 
Divide the rice mixture among the bowls (discard the vanilla beans when you find them), arrange the prettier fruit over it, decorate the cups with the citrus zest, and serve. Serves 4.

That's it!
