For the rice pudding

  • unsalted butter, for greasing
  • 100g pudding rice
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 700ml whole milk
  • 350ml double cream
  • finely grated zest 3 oranges
  • 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped

For the compote

  • 300g strawberries, halved
  • juice 1 orange
  • 150g caster sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 150C/ 130C F/Gas 2 and grease a 1 litre ovenproof dish with butter.

Mix all the rice pudding ingredients together in a large bowl, then pour into the prepared dish and bake for 2–21/2hours until the rice is tender and there is a good crust on top, but it is still a bit creamy underneath.

Meanwhile, make the compote. Put the strawberries, orange juice and sugar in a pan over a low heat and cook very gently for 10–15 minutes until you have a rich, reduced compote, but the fruit is still holding some shape.

Serve the rice pudding with dollops of compote.
