Rice Pudding Pork Recipe

Name: Rice Pudding Pork
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 4- to 4 1/2 pound boned pork loin; Sea salt; Freshly ground black pepper; Fresh nutmeg; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 4 tablespoons butter; 4 to 6 cups whole milk, hot; 2 teaspoons brown sugar; 3 bay leaves (fresh, if possible); 3 sprigs thyme; Thinly pared zest of 1 lemon

Servings: persons

1
Season the pork with salt, pepper and a little grated nutmeg.
2
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and gently brown the pork, turning it occasionally so it is lightly colored all over.
3
Remove from the heat.
4
In a casserole or saucepan just large enough to fit the pork, melt the butter over medium heat.
5
Add a third of the hot milk and the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves.
6
Transfer the pork to the casserole, pour in the remaining hot milk until it almost covers the meat and bring it to a simmer.
7
Lightly scrunch the bay leaves and thyme and add them, along with the lemon zest and a few gratings of nutmeg.
8
Cover with a lid, leaving a slight gap, and cook at a very gentle simmer, so the surface is undisturbed.
9
Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, during which time the milk will curdle and form a rice-pudding-like crust.
10
Remove the pork from the pan, cut it into thick slices and set a few slices on each of 6 plates.
11
Spoon the crusty, milky curds from the pot over the meat.
12
Top with the thinner, milky gravy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
