Quick and Easy Swedish Rice Porridge

I had the great pleasure of being invited by Minute® Rice to attend a party in Atlanta and was treated to some of the heavenly dishes our hosts prepared.  “But it’s rice.” I thought.  “How much can you really do with simple cook rice?”  It turns out that you can do a TON. I was schooled!  As an obvious demographic target for this make-your-life-easier product, I was treated to crunchy rice cakes nestled on a bed of greek-dressed greens, a delectable, hearty breakfast rice skillet topped with fried eggs and even miniature apple-rice tartlets with a crumby pastry crust.  Honestly, I was floored. I was missing out on gourmet dishes being prepared in no time flat; this was something I needed to try at home!

I started to think about my favorite homemade dishes that included rice. My favorite childhood recipe popped into my mind immediately.  Swedish Rice Porridge laborious to make, but glorious to consume.  The age-old dish is a hearty, cultural favorite, but takes me over 2 hours to create just because of the traditional rice preparation and endless simmering.  I made it as a young kid once a year (with Mom’s help!), and doubled my recipe to snack on all week because it was so difficult to make.

The Swedish-American pioneers used to make it over the course of an entire day and keep it warm near a banked fire overnight to enjoy the next morning; it can take that long to make!  Since Minute® White Rice cooks in only 5 minutes, it will drastically reduce my cooking time and allow me to enjoy the Swedish Rice Porridge with a modern pace.  Take a peek at my recipe below that turns an effortful dish into something any family can make during a busy morning (I time-tested it myself with a crying infant, so you know you can handle it, too!).  This easy swedish rice porridge is a snap with Minute® Rice!

    I chucked because I totally thought porridge was made up for Goldilocks. I had no idea it was a real thing LOL.

      HA! Girl, you’re not the only one. I’m glad someone fessed up to it too that way I don’t feel so silly. 🙂

    The breakfast rice skillet topped with fried eggs looks amazing. I will have to try making this on the weekend. My kids are going to love it. There are so many great recipes you can do with rice.

    I love finding new recipes, especially ones I’ve never heard of. This is such a great find. I love that you can make a speedier version using the instant rice.
