How To Make Creamy Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 4 cup low fat milk
- 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
- 3 strips orange zest, wide
- 3 tbsp sugar
- salt, pinch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- nutmeg, pinch
- 1/2 cup cranberries, dried
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup pecans , toasted chopped, optional
Instructions
-
In a heavy medium-size saucepan, bring the milk, rice, zest, sugar and salt to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low. Cover and gently simmer until the rice is tender and the milk is almost absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 1-1 1/2 hours.

Remove the cover and add the vanilla and nutmeg and stir to blend over low heat until the mixture is thick, about 5-10 minutes.

Remove the zest. Stir in the cranberries and raisins.
-
Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired. Serve warm for that added touch of comfort.
