Recipe for rice porridge in a slow cooker in milk, with apples, mushrooms

Rice took root well in Russian culinary, although it was an “exotic” in Russia four centuries ago. He came to us from the East, and in China, India and Japan they are preparing it in a completely different way. In China, a rough, unpolished product that is boiled in water is valued. In India, they add a sea of ​​spices to it, because of which it acquires a bright, simply sunny color and sharpness, which is incredible for a Russian person. And in Japan, if we are not talking about sushi, but about other dishes with rice, cooking is done with an egg, which is driven raw into the porridge during cooking.

Our dishes are less aggressive, much simpler. But from this they do not become less tasty! The presence in the house of a kitchen assistant Philips or Panasonic does not just simplify the culinary process, but makes it perfect. After all, only in a slow cooker can you cook porridge in milk, which you cannot even call porridge. Just a gentle, airy and magical mousse of some kind!

The subtleties of cooking

When using a slow cooker, the requirements for preparing rice are preserved. Rinse thoroughly. And this should be done only in cold water. It is important to put the cereal in cold water, and you can salt it right away, since salt does not affect bringing rice to readiness.

A slow cooker provides other advantages: it protects the product from burning, which happens in a conventional pan. Cooking rice porridge in a slow cooker does not require mixing, and from this the dish turns out only better, more steamed, homogeneous.

Here are a few more details of preparing products.

• Choose the appropriate rice variety. Aquatic, basmati, black, jasmine ... We heard about them somewhere, but usually do not use in cooking. And rightly so, if you cook in a slow cooker! For liquid milk porridge with a perfectly homogeneous structure, they are not suitable. The best option for her is round polished, which costs less than the other varieties. They grow it in the Krasnodar Territory, as well as a long-grain, which is ideal for making crumbly side dishes.
• Do not use steamed rice for milk porridge. Steaming retains 80% of the nutrients in the product, but it becomes so dense that it requires prolonged boiling. In addition, when cooking, it does not lose shape, does not secrete gluten, does not stick together, and remains "a grain to a grain." This can be considered an advantage when you need to cook pilaf or crumbly side dish. And the disadvantage is when they make milk porridge from it.
• Cook in appropriate mode.. It should fit your tasks. For example, in the “Rice” mode, the Redmont aggregate instantly pumps up the temperature and allows the croup to reach in just 15 minutes. During this time, you can get only a dense, crumbly grain, while a homogeneous porridge does not have time to cook. It will be cooked by the “Milk Porridge” mode (available in Polaris slow cookers) or simply “Porridge” (Vitek, Mulineks).
• Keep proportions. Need a loose side dish, pour 2 cups of liquid into a glass of cereal. Need a liquid porridge - double the proportion of water.
