Rizogalo is a sweet Greek dessert/dish that is created from milk, porridge rice and starch (brought on taste with cinnamon and vanilla). It is mainly served with a glass of water (because it is really sweet).

According to a good friend of mine (Bertha), its is the healthiest sweet that exists in Greece. She is convinced that this is the secret why she will celebrate, tomorrow (7th Of June), her 92th birthday.

Congratulations, Bertha! I hope you may enjoy Rizogalo for many more years!!!

If you have the chance to visit Athens, make sure you visit 'Stani'.
It is a unique, traditional coffee shop (sweet shop/milk bar) downtown Athens. I am convinced that everything you taste here is EXCELLENT! If not let me know, I will pay the bill ;-) (just kidding). The place is located here: M. Kotopouli 10, Athens 10431 Greece.

Ingredients:

  • - 200 gr. porridge rice.
    - 200gr. sugar.
    - 400 ml of water.
    - 1L of milk.
    - 2 tablespoons of starch.
    - 2 egg yolks.
    - seeds of a vanilla stick.
    - 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. (I prefer Ceylon cinnamon as it just tastes better).

Preparation:

  • - (1) Boil 400 ml of water.
    - (2) Add the porridge rice and the milk to the boiling water.
    - (3) Stir this until the rice gets soft.
    - (4) Add the starch and the sugar.
    - (5) Add the egg yolks and the seeds of the vanilla stick.
    - (6) Whisk until the mixture becomes creamy.
    - (7) Pour the hot mixture in the serving cups.
    - (8) Let the serving cups cool down. (preferable NOT in the refrigerator).

  • Finally:
    - On serving, sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the portions.

Enjoy!

Thank you! You are welcome, even this year! You know as Greece mainly depends on tourism, we are waiting here, with fear, to see what this summer will bring.

Yeah the fear is the same all around the world. We are all into this together and we will come out strong

Here the fear for the virus is very low as we had almost no cases and as low as about 180 deaths throughout the entire period. No, the fear here is that many people will skip this year to go for holidays. So that means 'no income' for a very big group of Greeks that totally depend on tourism. (not even thinking of the people that work 'in black' in this sector, as they will also get no government support).

Well that is a good thing and you guys are already way ahead in terms of recovery. I understand your worries as many other countries are still struggling to flatten the curve

For many people in the islands this year is a 'dilemma': have no income or (potentially) import the virus. Most islands have, so far, no cases at all.

Greece of course. I am not sure but if you would write your articles in English, you would have, in my opinion, a much broader public (of readers). Just a suggestion. Take care.

Remember dessert is written with double -s. Written with only 1 -s, it means a remote place like Sahara for example. Just saying.
