RICE PUDDING -- MEXICAN STYLE, ARROZ CON LECHE



Rice Pudding -- Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche image

This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it's probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk (goya)
1/4 teaspoon sazon goya with coriander and annatto
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can pigeon peas (gandules, goya)
1/2 lb ham (not sliced)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (goya)
1/2 cup oil (canola oil is healthier)
4 cups water
3 cups rice (goya medium grain rice or long is fine)
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt
2 teaspoons sofrito sauce

Steps:

  • In a large pot add sazon, oil, sofrito, onion powder, garlic powder, adobo, ham, gandules, coconut milk, and tomato sauce. Simmer over medium fire. Stir ingredients together and let heat up for about 3 minutes. Add water continue to mix all ingredients together.Add salt to taste. Let it simmer until it comes to a boil. When water is boiling add rice. Stir in the rice so it all evens out with taste. Cover the pot. When you see all the water has dried stir rice so it all cooks evenly. Covering the the rice allows it to cook but also helps to keep it nice and moist not dry and hard. (if rice seems a bit hard just sprinkle a bit a water on top and cover) at times this will happen if it's your first time making rice.

ARROZ CON LECHE



Arroz Con Leche image

Categories     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup long-grain white rice
One 3-inch-long cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
5 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a bowl and add hot water to cover. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then drain the rice, discarding the soaking liquid.
  • Combine 2 cups water with the rice, cinnamon stick, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; then reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan. Simmer for 18 minutes, or until the mixture is dry. Add the milk and sugar and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla in a small bowl. Carefully remove 1/2 cup of the hot liquid from the rice mixture and whisk it into the egg yolk mixture. Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the rice in the pan. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, over low heat for 3 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Do not boil. Stir in the raisins. Cool the mixture slightly. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate overnight and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the Arroz con Leche will be. Use fresh milk, arborio rice, and real cinnamon sticks.
  • Cook the rice slowly: This will allow the rice to absorb the milk and flavors fully. Don't boil the milk, as this will cause the rice to overcook and become mushy.
  • Add sugar and spices gradually: Start with a small amount of sugar and spices, and then add more to taste. This will help you avoid over-sweetening or over-spicing the dish.
  • Let the Arroz con Leche cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to firm up slightly.
  • Serve the Arroz con Leche with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include ground cinnamon, sugar, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Arroz con Leche is an easy and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be served hot or cold, and it can be customized to your own personal taste. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to enjoy after dinner or a special treat to serve at a party, Arroz con Leche is sure to please.
