SPANISH ARROZ CON LECHE RECIPE

This creamy Spanish arroz con leche recipe is my mother-in-law's favorite. It's Spanish rice pudding done right!

Provided by Lauren Aloise

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup of short grain rice (Arroz Bomba is what I use in Spain but Arborio also works well.)
1-2 wide slices of lemon rind
1 stick of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
4 ¼ cups of whole milk ((1 liter) you can substitute non-dairy milks if desired )
Sugar to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice under cold water and then put it in a saucepan over a medium heat, just barely covered with water (you could also cover it with milk for even creamier arroz con leche).
  • Add the cinnamon stick and lemon rind. Stir continually until all of the water is absorbed.
  • Add milk about ½ cup at a time, stirring each time until all is absorbed. Continue adding up to the whole liter of milk, stirring continuously.
  • When is seems creamy enough, taste to make sure the texture of the rice is correct. Some prefer it al dente and others like it very cooked (almost mushy).
  • When it is to your liking, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt and dash of cinnamon. Then, add the sugar a few tablespoons at a time until it is sweet enough for you. Enjoy warm or let cool.
  • Sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top to decorate!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 whole cloves
4 cups water
1 egg
3 cups whole milk
1 (12-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Steps:

  • Soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest and whole cloves in the water in a heavy saucepan for 1 hour.
  • After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil on high heat, uncovered. When it starts to boil (about 5 minutes), lower the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 more minutes or until water is almost evaporated.
  • While rice is cooking, beat the egg in a bowl. Add the milk and stir well to mix. Add the egg mixture, vanilla extract and condensed milk to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring carefully, until it thickens slightly or until desired consistency, about 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Let cool uncovered.
  • Note: be aware that as the rice cools it thickens. The finished product will be thinner than traditional rice pudding.

ARROZ CON LECHE



Arroz con Leche image

This Arroz con Leche is the Cuban version of rice pudding. It's richer and sweeter than regular rice pudding. Being Cuban myself, I prefer this version of this delicious dessert to any other. Before serving, sprinkle with cinnamon or garnish with a cinnamon stick, for flair.

Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ¼ cups water
1 ½ cups short grain rice
1 (1/4 inch x 3 inch) strip lime peel
½ cup water
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons anise seed, crushed
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine 2 1/4 cups of water, rice, and lime peel in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender.
  • While the rice is cooking, combine 1/2 cup of water, the cinnamon stick, and anise in another saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a low boil for 3 minutes, then remove saucepan from stove. Strain flavored water into a bowl and set aside, discarding cinnamon stick and anise pieces.
  • After rice has simmered for 20 minutes, carefully remove the lime peel with a slotted spoon, and over low heat, gradually stir evaporated milk and condensed milk into the rice. Mix in the cinnamon and anise-flavored water, vanilla, and salt. Add raisins, if desired. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • If the pudding is too watery after 10 minutes, turn up heat to medium-low and stir continuously. When pudding reaches desired consistency, remove from heat and pour into individual dishes, or a large bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your arroz con leche. Look for fresh, whole milk, and use a good quality rice. If you can find it, use Spanish bomba rice, which is a short-grain rice that is ideal for this dish.
  • Cook the rice slowly and gently. This will help it to absorb the flavors of the milk and spices. Don't rush the process, and be patient. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bite to it.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Arroz con leche is a versatile dish that can be flavored in many different ways. Try adding different spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add fruits, such as raisins, currants, or bananas. You can add even chocolate chips if you prefer.
  • Serve arroz con leche warm or cold. It is delicious either way. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Arroz con leche is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give arroz con leche a try. You won't be disappointed!
