Arroz Doce (Portuguese Sweet Rice) image

This was always a family staple and while searching the Portuguese recipes, I noticed it wasn't there and I just have to add it.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups water
1 cup white rice
2 cups hot milk (whole works best)
1 cup sugar
1 fresh lemon rind (use a vegetable peeler for big pieces for easier removal)
cinnamon

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan.
  • Add rice and cover, simmering for 20 minutes.
  • Add milk, sugar and lemon rind, stirring constantly until thickened to oatmeal consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
  • It will also thicken some while cooling.
  • Pour into one large serving plate and remove lemon rind.
  • Spread flat and allow to cool on wire rack.
  • You can be decorative with cinnamon by pinching a bit between your fingers and place while your hand is no more than an inch away from the rice (criss cross patterns are traditional), or you can just dust the entire top with the cinnamon.
  • Serve at room temp, but refrigerate uneaten portion.

This Arroz Doce was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add more cinnamon and lemon zest next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Arroz Doce turned out too sweet. I think I might have added too much sugar.
