Purple Rice Pudding With Rose Water Dates Recipes

PURPLE RICE PUDDING WITH ROSE WATER DATES

Steps:

• 1 To prepare the rice, bring the water and rice to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Decrease the temperature to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender yet still slightly chewy, about 30 minutes. Some water will remain (do not drain).
• 2 While the rice is cooking, prepare the date topping. Place the chopped dates in a small bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the rose water. Add the date strips to a different small bowl and drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon rose water. Stir the dates in both bowls and set aside, stirring once or twice more.
• 3 To finish, add the half-and-half, sugar, salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the lemon zest, cinnamon stick, and vanilla to the rice. Return to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring several times. Decrease the heat to maintain a gentle bubble and cook, uncovered, for 15 more minutes, stirring every few minutes or so. The consistency should be creamy yet soupy - the mixture will thicken as it cools. Remove the saucepan from the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the chopped dates and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest.
• 4 Divide the rice pudding among small individual dessert bowls or cups. Garnish with a few of the rose water-infused date strips, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine water and rice; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add cream and sugar; bring to a boil.

ROSE WATER RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the pudding rice in a large non-stick saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover the rice one inch above the level of the rice.
• Bring to a boil and cook until rice is tender. Do not cover.
• Add the milk and sugar.
• Return to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer. Do not cover.
• Mix together the cornstarch with a tablespoon or two of milk to form a slightly runny paste.
• While stirring the rice, slowly add the cornstarch mixture.
• Mix in the rosewater and bring to a boil. Do not cover.
• Remove from heat and transfer the rice into a large glass serving bowl or 6 individual ramekins.
• Cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Dust with cinnamon before serving and garnish with rose petals (if desired).

RICE PUDDING WITH ROSE WATER

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large pan with the water. Bring it to the boil and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Add the milk and simmer on very low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the rice is very soft but there is still quite a bit of liquid left. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon so that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Put in the sugar and stir until it has dissolved. Add the rose water, turn off the heat, and sprinkle on the gum mastic, stirring vigorously. If you are using vanilla essence, put it in at the same time as the sugar.
• Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl, then beat in a ladleful of the simmering pudding. Add this mixture to the pan, stirring constantly for a few moments only, until the liquid thickens a little (it becomes creamy), but do not let it boil or the yolks will curdle. Pour the pudding into a serving dish-use a heatproof one if you are making the caramel topping-let it cool, and then refrigerate, covered in plastic wrap.
• If you are going to add the caramel topping, the pudding must be chilled before you add the sugar. Sprinkle the top with the 4 tablespoons sugar and put under a preheated broiler. The sugar will bubble and gradually turn into dark caramel. If it is too near the broiler, burnt spots will appear. If that happens, you can just lift them off when the caramel has cooled and hardened. Refrigerate before serving.

RICE PUDDING WITH ROSE WATER AND CARDAMOM

Steps:

• Rinse the rice well, then combine with the milk and cardamom in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender and the milk has been reduced by almost half, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Stir in the sugar and 4 tablespoons of the pistachios and continue to cook, stirring more frequently, until the pudding is the consistency of a thin porridge (it will thicken as it cools), another 15 minutes or so. Remove from heat, add salt and more sugar or a dash of ground cardamom if you like, then stir in the rose water. Serve room temperature or chilled, topped with the rest of the pistachios.
