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!

MEXICAN RICE PUDDING ("ARROZ CON LECHE")

Steps:

• Put the water, rice, and cinnamon stick in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Strain out the liquid, discard the cinnamon and reserve the rice. Return the rice to the saucepan. Stir in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 20 minutes. Add the raisins, and stir well. Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl. Dust the top of the pudding with ground cinnamon and serve.

ARROZ CON LECHE

Steps:

• Soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest and whole cloves in the water in a heavy saucepan for 1 hour.
• After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil on high heat, uncovered. When it starts to boil (about 5 minutes), lower the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 more minutes or until water is almost evaporated.
• While rice is cooking, beat the egg in a bowl. Add the milk and stir well to mix. Add the egg mixture, vanilla extract and condensed milk to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring carefully, until it thickens slightly or until desired consistency, about 25 to 35 minutes.
• Let cool uncovered.
• Note: be aware that as the rice cools it thickens. The finished product will be thinner than traditional rice pudding.

ARROZ CON LECHE

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:

• Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost gone and you can see the bottom of the pot when scraped with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, cream, canela, vanilla bean with the pod, and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Add the sugar, adjust the heat to maintain a constant soft simmer, and cook until the rice is soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Add the raisins and cook for about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, discard the vanilla pod and the canela, and allow to cool. (You can place a layer of plastic wrap directly on top to prevent a skin from forming.)
• Scoop into bowls, sprinkle the ground canela on top, and serve.
