🥘 Carole’s – Rice pudding…

🥘  2 pans |  🍽 Serves 6 | ⏱ 90 mins | 🛒 9 ingredients | €2

Wonderful comfort food, a creamy rice pudding was always served in our house with a swirl of jam. Aarroz con leche is popular all over Spain and often sweetened with honey instead of sugar.

Ingredients:

  • 80g dried cranberries or dried cherries, or a mixture
  • 50ml rum
  • 50g butter plus extra for greasing the dish
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 125g pudding rice
  • 700ml milk
  • 200ml double cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla paste
  • Nutmeg
Have all your ingredients ready before you start

Step by step:

  1. Preheat your oven to 140C / Gas 1. Soak the raisins or other fruit in the rum and set to one side. Butter a 1 – 1.5 litre baking dish.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan and add the sugar. Gently dissolve over a low heat. Stir in the rice until well coated and cook for another minute or two. Now add the milk, cream and vanilla paste and bring to the boil.
  3. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and gently stir in the booze soaked raisins. Top with a grating of nutmeg. Bake for 75 minutes until its golden and cooked through.
Easy and inexpensive to make.

Notes:

  1. If you prefer to use a vanilla pod and seeds, simply split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds in place of the vanilla paste. The split vanilla pod makes a nice decoration if you are serving the rice pudding in the baking dish to the table.
