Ingredients
2 cups water1/2 cup any long grain rice (I use Jasmine rice)2 cups milk (I use 1 cup skim and 1 cup whole milk)1 egg yolk (optional)2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp regular corn meal/flour1/2 cup sugar2 tsp vanilla extract1 tsp honey1/4 tsp lemon juice (optional)Cinnamon to taste (I use 1/4 tsp)Sometimes I add a dash of cloves and nutmeg.
1. In a small bowl mix corn meal with 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
2. In a medium to large pot bring two cups of water to a boil.
3. Add the rice and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
4. Add everything else to the pot (including corn meal mix) and simmer on low heat for another 35 minutes, stirring constantly.
You want it's consistency to be like that of custard, pudding, or porridge. Continue stirring on low heat until this consistency is reached. (This may or may not take longer than 35 mins).
Rizogalo is generally served cold with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Some people like their rice pudding served hot, also with cinnamon on top. I've heard that some like to add raisins (in the 4th step). Serve however you prefer...and enjoy!
Makes eight 1/2-cup servings.
