This is the recipe for the creamed rice and blueberry compote that we sell at Canteen.

Creamed Rice with Blueberry Compote

• 1/2 cup medium rice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1L full cream milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

• In a saucepan on medium heat bring rice and water and sugar just to boil.  Stir frequently to dissolve sugar.
• Slowly and gradually add milk, and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
• Stir occasionally to prevent rice catching on saucepan base.
• Add more milk if rice has thickened too much.
• Add vanilla extract and more sugar if needed.

Blueberry Compote

• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• Water
• 1  to ½ tablespoons sugar
• Dash of vanilla extract (optional)

Method

• In a small saucepan, add blueberries, water to cover the bottom of the saucepan and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
• Place on low to medium heat for 10-15 min to simmer, stir occasionally.
• Once the liquid starts to thicken, switch off.  Add more sugar or vanilla to taste.  After 5 minutes the compote will thicken.
