Rice Pudding, My Mom's Recipe

Maria

Rice pudding is one of the first recipes I learned when I started cooking. It's a gluten-free dessert with as many variations as there are cooks. This is my mom's recipe, which uses just three main ingredients, some flavorings, and a very gentle cooking process. She used to make it with raw whole milk, and the creaminess she achieved was unmatched. Today, I used pasteurized whole milk instead, and it's still delicious.
Important: You'll know it's done when the rice grains almost reach the surface of the milk.

    When the rice is just right—not too soft and not too firm—add the sugar.

    Increase the heat slightly and keep stirring for another 10 minutes. The mixture will become creamy, and the rice grains will almost reach the surface.

Estas son algunas de las recetas que gustan en casa. Recetas de distintas procedencias y de todos los días, resultado de muchos años viviendo en distintos países y cocinando para mis hijos, mi marido y los amigos. Me gustaría reflejar aquí lo que viene siendo el recetario familiar y que sirva de inspiración a mis hijos. Utilizo pocos artilugios, el horno de toda la vida, a veces la olla rápida, un buen cuchillo, una buena sartén y poco más. Elaboro los menús diarios sobre la marcha, inspirándome en los productos más frescos a mi disposición y procurando variar , aunque la base de nuestra alimentación son las verduras y el pescado. Por supuesto siempre empleo productos naturales de primera calidad en elaboraciones sencillas, tradicionales y lo más rápidas posible. Aquí no se van a encontrar ni “tortipizzas” ni salchichas de ningún tipo, mi prioridad es la salud y el primer escalón para mantenerla es la buena alimentación. Casi siempre cocino con prisa y las fotos que resultan no son extraordinarias, pero esto creo que es secundario 😉
