ARROZ CON DULCE

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1½ cups rice
4¼ cups coconut milk
1½ teaspoons salt
3 cinnamon sticks
2 ounces ginger
6 whole cloves
Pinch of nutmeg-optional
1½ cups sugar
½ cup raisins
3/4 cup coconut milk (reserve to use at the end)

Steps:

  • 1 Wash rice and soak in water to cover, generously, for 2 hours. The rice will soak up the water so use plenty. 2 About twenty minutes before rice is finished soaking combine the 4½ cups of coconut milk, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in a medium size caldero. 3 Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to moderate, cover and boil for 15 minutes. 4 Drain rice thoroughly and add to caldero. Mix and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat to low and cook unitl rice is completely dry, without stirring. 5 Add the sugar and raisins, stir, and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 15 minutes, without stirring. 6 Add reserved 3/4 cup coconut milk and stir. Turn heat to moderate and boil for about 30 minutes, or until rice dries again. In this cooking period, turn rice over occasionally and scrape bottom of caldero. 7 Remove spices. Spoon rice into a flat serving platter. Allow to cool at room temperature. 8 This is served cold.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the Arroz Con Dulce will be. Use high-quality rice, coconut milk, and spices.
  • Cook the rice slowly and gently. Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the rice slowly and gently over low heat so that it has time to absorb all of the flavors.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
  • Add the spices and coconut milk gradually. Don't add all of the spices and coconut milk at once. Add them gradually and taste the rice as you go to make sure that it is not too spicy or too sweet.
  • Garnish the Arroz Con Dulce with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and shredded coconut.

Conclusion:

Arroz Con Dulce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and aromatic spices, Arroz Con Dulce is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give Arroz Con Dulce a try. You won't be disappointed.
