Ris à la Malta - Rice with Oranges and Whipped Cream

Strictly speaking, this is probably not a dish that
originated in Sweden. In a Swedish cookbook from 1879
the dish is called "Risgryn med apelsin" (literally "Rice
grains with orange") and the French name is given as "Riz
à la Malte". Whatever the origin, it is very popular in
Sweden (as well as in Denmark).
Ingredients:
· 400 ml cooked white rice,
cold and soft
· 200 ml whipped cream,
whipped to a volume of
400-500 ml
· 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
· 1 tbsp sugar
· 1 orange, peeled and cut
in very small pieces
and/or
· 3 slices of pineapple, cut
in very small pieces
Proceed as follows:
1. Add the sugar to the cream and whip until
reasonably firm, then add the lemon juice and the
fruit pieces.
2. Mix carefully with the cooked rice.
3. Rinse a large bowl with water, then fill it with the
rice-cream mixture, press cautiously to remove any
trapped air, and leave it for at least one hour in the
refrigerator.
4. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and turn
out the rice-cream mixture on to a round dish.
5. Garnish with thin slices of orange and/or
pineapple.
Many Swedes love to serve the Ris á la Malta with
"saftsås", fruit syrup sauce.
