Pistachio Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine milk, condensed milk & rice & bring to boil over medium heat.
• Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer & cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Add cardamom, vanilla & 2/3 of the apricots, & cook until rice is tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in zest & cream, if using it.
• Garnish with pistachios & the remaining apricots, & serve warm or cold.
• If serving cold, press parchment/baking paper directly onto surface of pudding to prevent a skin from forming, & chill at least 3-4 hours (or overnight if desired).

Steps:

• 1. Mix sugar in milk and mix well Add pudding and mix well again Add rice and refrigerate When you are ready to serve top with the toasted nuts.
• 2. The one think I like about this recipe is you can substitute any flavor of instant pudding If you use a plain flavor of pudding like vanilla etc. you'll want to add the following: This is to taste of course ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 3. And now you can go crazy....try adding: Dried cranberries Dried cherries Grated orange rind and orange juice Raisins You are only limited by your imagination.....

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add onion and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted. Add nuts and rice and stir to blend.
• Add broth, salt and pepper, bay leaf and parsley sprigs and stir to blend. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for exactly 17 minutes.
• Uncover rice and remove bay leaf and parsley. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter with a fork.
