Rice Pudding

Submitted by Chef Gorete

"An traditional Portuguese dessert eaten with sweet bread."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 lbs of italian rice or 2 lbs arborio rice, rinsed
• 5 egg yolks, beaten
• rind of one lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar (to taste)
• milk, as needed
• water
• ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

directions

1. Rinse the rice in a strainer, then place in a deep saucepan and cover with water. Peel large strips of rind off of the lemon and set aside.
2. Over low heat and uncovered, cook the rice but do no stir. In a bowl, mix the beaten egg with some milk. When the water is drying, slowly pour in the egg mixture stirring continuously. Add more milk if the mixture is dry.
3. Once the rice is cooked, add the sugar and lemon rind and continue cooking until the pudding is just creamy. Do not over cook as the pudding will harden as it sets. Pour the rice into desert dishes, then sprinkle with cinnamon.

This pairs perfectly with a slice of sweet bread.
