Classic rice pudding with pan-fried raspberries and wild thyme recipe
Some history
Rice pudding is a classic of French cuisine. The taste immediately conjures up childhood memories unlike any other dish. It was first made around the 6th century. Documents dating from the time mention cooking rice in milk and sugar. When sugar cane started to be imported from India to Europe, this dessert recipe was created - for our greatest pleasure.
Ingredients
- 800g raspberries
- 1 bunch wild thyme
- 360g sugar
- 20g butter
- 1.2l milk
- 200g cream
- 1 pinch salt
