Rice Pudding With Sultanas Spain Recipes

Steps:

• Put sultanas in a bowl & cover them with the brandy, then allow them to sit & soak up some of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• In a heavy sauce pan, combine rice, sugar, milk, the drops of vanilla & the cinnamon stick.
• When the milk STARTS to boil, turn heat to low & simmer slowly, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• When sultanas have soaked up some of the brandy, drain them & add the sultanas to the rice & milk mixture.
• Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, & once rice has cooked, remove pan from the heat & remove the cinnamon stick.
• Spoon into a serving bowl & let cool a bit before sprinkling a little ground cinnamon over the top & serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Wash and drain the rice. Butter a 850ml baking dish, then tip in the rice and sugar and stir through the milk. Sprinkle in the nutmeg and top with the bay leaf or lemon zest.
• Cook for 2 hrs or until the pudding wobbles ever so slightly when shaken.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large pan with 500ml water and the lemon and orange zest. Bring to the boil, cover, lower the heat, then cook for about 15 mins until all the water has been absorbed. Uncover, stir in the milk and sugar, then simmer for 20-25 mins, stirring often, until the rice is tender and sauce thickened. Cool, then leave at room temperature.
• Put the raisins into a small pan with the cinnamon, muscovado and 100ml water. Gently heat until the sugar has melted, then bubble for a min until syrupy. Stir in the cream, then cool in the pan.
• Dish up at the last minute - stir a little milk through the rice mixture if it has become 'solid' after sitting for a while. To serve, divide the rice pudding between 8 glasses or small bowls and top with a spoonful of the syrupy raisins.
