Rice pudding with apple and tonka bean
Ingredients
For
6
personnes
- 1 litre of milk
- 120 g short-grain rice
- 60 g of sugar
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
- The zest of an orange
- 3 apples
- 2 tablespoons of mild-flavoured olive oil
- Tonka bean
Tip
For decoration and flavour, you can grate the zest of half an orange and half a tonka bean over the top. We recommend a subtly flavoured olive oil from Nice PDO, Nyons PDO, Languedoc AOC, or the Amellau variety, Argoudeil, Cailletier, Clermontaise, Grossane, Lucques, Négrette, Rougette de Pignan, Tanche, Verdale from the Bouches-du-Rhône, Verdale from the Hérault …
Instructions
- Bring the milk to the boil with the sugar, vanilla sugar and orange zest (make sure to cut a long enough strip so that you can remove it easily once it’s cooked).
- When the milk comes to the boil, sprinkle in the rice and turn down the heat so that it simmers very gently; the rice must cook very gently for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wash and peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into small cubes. Cook the apples over a medium heat in mild-flavoured olive oil, turning them so that they brown on all sides. Cover and leave to cook for 5 minutes over a low heat. Check they are cooked: the apples are ready when the tip of a knife slides in easily. Grate the tonka bean over the apples, stir and set aside.
- When the rice is just covered with milk, turn off the heat, remove the orange zest and leave to cool; the rice will continue to soak up the milk as it cools.
- Mix the apples and rice pudding together and serve.

We recommend...
For this recipe, choose a PDO huile d'olive de Nyons (subtle taste) for its notes of dried fruit and buttery flavour, possibly accompanied by hints of fresh hazelnuts and/or freshly cut grass.
