Arroz con Leche (Rice with Milk): Classic Colombian for a rice pudding with milk, raisins and coconut flavoured with cinnamon, shown served topped with fruit and grated cinnamon.
Ingredients:
300g rice
1l milk
360ml evaporated milk
200g sugar
1
cinnamon stick
80g raisins
75g desiccated coconut
Method:
Wash the rice then add to a pan with a little water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes. Keep topping-up the water as necessary to make certain the rice does not dry out. When the rice is tender add all the remaining ingredients. Return the mixture to a boil.
Mix to combine, lower to a simmer then cook slowly, stirring every now and then to ensure the mixture does not burn. Allow to cook for 20 minutes to ensure the rice is completely cooked and soft. You are aiming for a mixture that's half solid half liquid. If the mix looks like it's becoming too dry add some more milk.
When ready take off the heat then cover and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick then spoon the dessert into individual glasses (dessert glasses or trifle dishes are good for this).
