    Today I got a very simple and easy recipe for you. In Germany, you would say “unaufgeregt” which means “unagitated”. Something to make you feel good without being complicated. Nothing that needs 50 different ingredients nor 20 steps to be done… Today I show you one of my favorite recipes in the world: a simple Rice Pudding with Damson Plum Compote. Soulfood par excellence ;)

    Rice pudding is really nothing special – nonetheless it is one of the most delicious and most comforting dishes I know. It’s a simple dessert, there is not much complexity there. It’s just some rice cooked in milk with cinnamon and/or vanilla plus the compote topping. Neither of these components would be considered “haute cuisine” ;) And still… I would push many other dishes aside for a bowl of rice pudding with plum compote.

    Why? Because I connect a lot of memories with this kind of dessert. I have that with many dishes I know from my childhood. Rice pudding, semolina pudding, or spinach with a sunny side egg on top, for example… I’d leave a steak untouched for those dishes. Well, not always, but certainly one or two times ;P

    A bowl of rice pudding gives me a pleasant feeling – and of course, it tastes really good! Whenever I eat a bowl of rice pudding I have to think about the time I was like five or six years old, in our old house on a Saturday evening when I just had a bath… sitting in the kitchen in my bathrobe with a turban on my head with one of those delicious rice pudding bowls right in front of me. Good times ;))

    Nowadays I make rice pudding whenever I’m in a weird mood and need some “moral support”. It always helps. It’s also good when it’s hot outside. Well cooled it is really refreshing ;)

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • Deutsch
    (4 servings)

    For the plum compote:
    17.6 oz. (500g) damson plums
    3.4 fl. oz. (100ml) water
    1/4 cup (50g) sugar (or xylitol)
    1/4 tsp. vanilla paste
    pinch of ground cinnamon
    1 piece of (organic) lemon peel
    1 tbsp. cornstarch
    1 tbsp. cold water

    For the rice pudding:
    16.9 fl. oz. (500ml) milk
    2 tbsp. sugar (or xylitol)
    1 tsp. vanilla paste
    pinch of salt
    4.4 oz. (125g) milk rice

    (4 Portionen)

    Für das Zwetschgenröster:
    500g Zwetschgen
    100ml Wasser
    50g Zucker (oder Xylit)
    1/4 TL Vanillepaste
    1 Prise Zimt
    ein Stück Schale von einer Bio-Zitrone
    1 EL Speisestärke
    1 EL kaltes Wasser

    Für den Milchreis:
    500ml Milch
    2 EL Zucker (oder Xylit)
    1 TL Vanillepaste
    Prise Salz
    125g Milchreis

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Wash and dry the damson plums, pit them and cut into 4 or 6 slices each. Set aside. Add the water, sugar (or xylitol), vanilla paste, cinnamon, and the lemon peel to a small pot and bring to a boil. As soon as the sugar has dissolved, add the plums, reduce the heat and let cook until the plums are soft and the liquid has a nice red color. Mix the cornstarch with the cold water and add to the pot, continue cooking the plums until the liquid in the pot starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and let cool down, remove the lemon peel. You can prepare the plum compote 1-2 days in advance and store it in the fridge.

    2. Add the milk with the sugar, vanilla paste, and salt in a small pot and bring to a boil, then add the rice and let it simmer (without lid) over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. You should stir occasionally so nothing burns and the milk does not develop a skin on top of the rice. Remove the pot from the heat, cover with a lid or plate and let the rice soak for another 10 minutes or so. If the rice pudding gets too thick, add some milk and mix in. You can now serve the rice pudding lukewarm with the plum compote – for a hot summer day I recommend letting the rice pudding cool down completely and then add it to a serving glass layered with the compote. Cover, place in the fridge for at least 1 hour., then serve. You will get a not too sweet and refreshing dessert.

    1. Die Zwetschgen waschen, trocknen, entsteinen und dann vierteln oder sechsteln. Zur Seite stellen. Wasser, Zucker (oder Xylit), Vanillepaste, Zimt und Zitronenschale in einem kleinen Topf geben und aufkochen lassen. Sobald sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat, die Zwetschgen dazugeben, die Hitzezufuhr etwas reduzieren und dann so lange köcheln lassen, bis die Früchte teilweise anfangen zu zerfallen und die Flüssigkeit im Topf schön rot ist. Die Speisestärke mit dem Esslöffel Wasser verrühren und dann in den Topf geben – unterrühren und so lange köcheln lassen, bis die Flüssigkeit der Zwetschgen schön angedickt hat. Vom Herd ziehen und abkühlen lassen, dann die Zitronenschale entfernen. Den Zwetschgenröster kann man auch schon 1-2 Tage vorab zubereiten und im Kühlschrank lagern.

    2. Die Milch mit dem Zucker, der Vanillepaste und dem Salz in einen kleinen Topf geben und aufkochen lassen, dann den Milchreis dazugeben und bei niedriger Hitzezufuhr etwa 20 Minuten (ohne Deckel) köcheln lassen – dabei immer wieder umrühren, damit nichts anbrennt und die Milch keine Haut bildet. Den Topf vom Herd ziehen, einen Deckel oder Teller auflegen und den Milchreis weitere 10 Minuten quellen lassen. Sollte der Milchreis zu sehr andicken und klumpen, einfach noch etwas Milch unterrühren. Wer mag, kann den Milchreis lauwarm mit den dem Zwetschgenröster servieren – für wärmere Tage empfehle ich den Milchreis komplett abkühlen zu lassen und dann mit dem Zwetschgenröster in Dessertgläser zu schichten (diese abdecken) und für min. 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank zu stellen. Das ergibt ein erfrischendes Dessert für einen warmen Sommertag.
