Rice Pudding Recipe
Directions:
- In a large pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to help keep the milk from burning.
- Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and let it cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. Be patient, at first it will be very liquidy but eventually the rice will absorb the liquid giving it a porridge-like consistency.
- Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.
