Daycare-tested, quick and tasty

Heat the oil in a pan and briefly fry the leek rings and ham cubes. Add the rice and stir well. Pour in the stock and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cream (if the rice is still very soupy, increase the heat slightly and let the rice reduce while stirring before adding the cream) and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with the cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Tip: You can adapt the recipe by frying a small amount of beef tartare instead of the ham. Both are well received by children. For younger children around 1 year old, you can mix a portion with a little extra liquid and puree it.
