Rizogalo Ii Greek Rice Pudding Recipes

GREEK RICE PUDDING (RIZOGALO)

Steps:

• Place milk, sugar and lemon peel (just the peel - none of the pith) in a heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar melts. Reduce heat to low and add the rice.
• Cover the pan and cook until the rice/milk mixture has gone thick and creamy (about 30-35 minutes).
• Turn off heat. Remove lemon peel and discard.
• Whisk together egg yolks with corn flour.
• Quickly whisk egg yolks into the rice mixture, stirring well. (If you want to, at this point you can also add a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract). Keep stirring to make sure yolks are incorporated and won't curdle.
• Spoon pudding into four serving dishes and cool. Top with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
