Food and Wine, rice is cooked in 2 stages for this wonderful pudding Ingredients:
3/4 cup arborio rice |
1 1/2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter |
2 1/2 cups whole milk |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon orange-flower water (optional) |
1/2 cup blanched almonds |
Directions:
1. In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. Transfer the rice to a medium saucepan. 3. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. 4. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, cover and cook over low heat until the water is almost completely absorbed, about 15 minutes. 5. Stir in the milk and sugar and bring to a boil over moderate heat. 6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 7 minutes. 7. Stir in the orange-flower water and simmer for 1 minute. 8. Transfer the rice pudding to a bowl and let cool; the pudding will firm up. 9. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter. 10. Add the almonds and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. 11. Transfer the almonds to a plate to cool. Sprinkle the almonds over the pudding and serve. 12. Make Ahead: 13. The rice pudding can be refrigerated overnight. 14. Serve chilled or at room temperature |
