Riz Casimir

Swissmilk attributes Riz Casimir to Swiss cooking despite its name. This selected ingredient-list version uses supplied sliced chicken in a curry-and-cream sauce, with rice and optional fruit and almond finishes.

Salted water is brought to the boil and the rice added. It cooks over low heat for fifteen to eighteen minutes, following the package directions, then is drained and refined with butter. The rice is kept warm on the switched-off heat source.

Optional supplied almond shavings roast over moderate heat in a frying pan and are lifted out. The same chicken portion fries in batches in supplied hot clarified butter, is seasoned and placed on a plate.

Flour, the separate two tablespoons of butter and curry are roasted in the remaining clarified butter. Supplied cold water deglazes the mixture, then the prepared chicken-bouillon cube and cream are added. With constant stirring, it is brought to the boil and reduced uncovered until creamy. The same chicken is returned, allowed only to become hot and the sauce adjusted to taste.

The optional supplied bite-sized fruit pieces are heated with a separate butter portion, a little sugar and supplied lemon juice. Rice and curry are placed on prewarmed plates and garnished with the optional fruit and almond shavings.

FOOBY classifies Riz Casimir as a main course.
