ARROZ CON LECHE (MEXICAN RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Combine water and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until cinnamon releases its color and flavor, about 5 minutes. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Gradually add whole milk to rice, then evaporated milk. Stir in sugar. Cook uncovered until sugar is dissolved and mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold. Sprinkle each portion with ground cinnamon.

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/4 cups of water, rice, and lime peel in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender.
• While the rice is cooking, combine 1/2 cup of water, the cinnamon stick, and anise in another saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a low boil for 3 minutes, then remove saucepan from stove. Strain flavored water into a bowl and set aside, discarding cinnamon stick and anise pieces.
• After rice has simmered for 20 minutes, carefully remove the lime peel with a slotted spoon, and over low heat, gradually stir evaporated milk and condensed milk into the rice. Mix in the cinnamon and anise-flavored water, vanilla, and salt. Add raisins, if desired. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• If the pudding is too watery after 10 minutes, turn up heat to medium-low and stir continuously. When pudding reaches desired consistency, remove from heat and pour into individual dishes, or a large bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

ARROZ CON LECHE

Steps:

• Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add rice. Set aside 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine whole milk, sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks in a large heavy-bottomed pot (at least 4 quarts) and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes. If mixture starts to boil, reduce heat so it is just barely simmering.
• While milk mixture cooks, drain the rice, rinse it and set it aside. Fill the medium pot halfway with fresh water and bring to a boil. Add drained rice to the boiling water, turn down heat, and simmer 6 minutes. Drain rice again.
• Add drained rice to the milk mixture and continue to cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened considerably, another 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly (mixture will thicken more as it cools), then remove cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean. Serve warm, room temperature or cold, sprinkled with ground cinnamon to taste.
