Bruleed Banana And Pumpkin Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F.
• Bring the water to a boil in an ovenproof 4-quart saucepan. Stir in the rice and cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is nearly cooked, about 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
• While the rice is still hot, add the pumpkin mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake until the liquid has reduced by about a third and the mixture is foamy and bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Transfer to a large bowl, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. The pudding will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat and add the rice. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 7 minutes; drain well.
• Using the same saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice, vanilla bean, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice is very soft and absorbs most of the milk, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the vanilla bean, and stir in the sugar.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
• Pour half of the rice pudding mixture into a large bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Spoon the pumpkin rice pudding into the prepared baking dish. Mix the raisins into the remaining rice pudding mixture, and spoon it over the pumpkin rice pudding.
• Bake, uncovered until firm, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
• Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise and cover the bottom of the casserole with the sliced bananas.
• Mix together the brown sugar,salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
• Beat the spice mixture into the pureed pumpkin.

• Gradually stir the liquid into the pumpkin mixture, mix well.
• Pour over the bananas into the casserole.
• Bake for apprx 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the center Serve with a good dollop of whipped cream on top.

Steps:

• To make the bananas brulée, quarter the bananas lengthwise (peel on) and rub into sugar to coat thoroughly.
• Remove peel and place on cooling rack over several layers of foil. (Don't try this on your dining room table.).
• Don your safety goggles and fire up your torch. Hold the torch so that the very tip of the flame barely touches the banana, and move quickly back and forth until the sugar melts, turns brown, and bubbles. As soon as it looks like caramel, move on. You know you've got it down when a solid, glasslike sheet of gold (no graininess) has formed on the banana.
