Rice Pudding With Sultanas Spain Recipes

RICE PUDDING WITH SULTANAS (SPAIN)

Steps:

• Put sultanas in a bowl & cover them with the brandy, then allow them to sit & soak up some of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• In a heavy sauce pan, combine rice, sugar, milk, the drops of vanilla & the cinnamon stick.
• When the milk STARTS to boil, turn heat to low & simmer slowly, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• When sultanas have soaked up some of the brandy, drain them & add the sultanas to the rice & milk mixture.
• Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, & once rice has cooked, remove pan from the heat & remove the cinnamon stick.

SPANISH ARROZ CON LECHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice under cold water and then put it in a saucepan over a medium heat, just barely covered with water (you could also cover it with milk for even creamier arroz con leche).
• Add the cinnamon stick and lemon rind. Stir continually until all of the water is absorbed.
• Add milk about ½ cup at a time, stirring each time until all is absorbed. Continue adding up to the whole liter of milk, stirring continuously.
• When is seems creamy enough, taste to make sure the texture of the rice is correct. Some prefer it al dente and others like it very cooked (almost mushy).
• When it is to your liking, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt and dash of cinnamon. Then, add the sugar a few tablespoons at a time until it is sweet enough for you. Enjoy warm or let cool.
• Sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top to decorate!

RICE PUDDING WITH RAISIN & CINNAMON SYRUP

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large pan with 500ml water and the lemon and orange zest. Bring to the boil, cover, lower the heat, then cook for about 15 mins until all the water has been absorbed. Uncover, stir in the milk and sugar, then simmer for 20-25 mins, stirring often, until the rice is tender and sauce thickened. Cool, then leave at room temperature.
• Put the raisins into a small pan with the cinnamon, muscovado and 100ml water. Gently heat until the sugar has melted, then bubble for a min until syrupy. Stir in the cream, then cool in the pan.
• Dish up at the last minute - stir a little milk through the rice mixture if it has become 'solid' after sitting for a while. To serve, divide the rice pudding between 8 glasses or small bowls and top with a spoonful of the syrupy raisins.
