Ingredients

  • 1 quart strawberries, rinsed and hulled
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
  • 1 quart milk
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • Pinch kosher salt

Method

  • Cut strawberries into medium-size dice.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Cook until berries are soft and the juices have thickened slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it starts to steam.
  • Remove one cup of milk, set it aside, and keep it warm.
  • Stir into the larger pan of milk the remaining sugar, the vanilla bean and seeds, and the rice.
  • Lower heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the reserved milk, lemon zest, butter, and salt.
  • Stir well and remove from the heat.
  • This should have a more liquid consistency than regular risotto.
  • To serve, layer rice pudding and strawberry mixture in tall clear glasses.
  • Chill.
