I’ve got good memories of rice pudding. It was my staple snack to grab while studying anthropology at Macquarie University. They sold it in the student supply shop in plastic cups, cold with cinnamon sprinkled on top and I would pick up cups on the regs to go study with.
Ingredients
2 cups (500mls) milk
1/2 cup arborio rice
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sliced strawberries, to serve
Combine milk, rice, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring every 5 minutes for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy. Top with the sliced strawberries.
TIP: Add some crushed pistachios on top or stir through a few teaspoons orange blossom water or rosewater to the rice pudding.
Sounds delicious!!!
Hope you’ve recovered from the food poisoning. Totally sucks!
Had rice puddinng last night at Banks Thai in Newtown and it was quite diff from what I’ve had before. It was a square block with a thin layer of black rice pudding at the bottom and then rest was white rice. They garnished it with custard and choc sauce. A nice change to the usual mix.
Hmm.. chocolate sauce. That sounds pretty good. I’ve tried chocolate Le Rice before – it was quite rich and custardy – pretttty tasty, but I still can’t go past plain vanilla 🙂
