Title: Arroz con Leche (Spanish Rice Pudding)
Categories: Five, Spanish, Rice, Dairy, Citrus
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 ga Milk
1 c Paella Rice
1 c Sugar
2 Cinnamon Sticks (whole)
2 Strips of Lemon peel

Prep Time/ Cook Time: 1 hour cooking on the stove top

I recall that as a child I would awaken on Sunday
mornings to the sweet smell of rice slowly simmering
in milk & sugar. It was such a pleasure to walk into
the kitchen and behold the old pot on top of the stove
bubbling away.

I would occasionally try to sneak a taste, but I knew
that the decadent dessert was far too hot for my young
taste buds to handle. I knew that the wait would be
unbearably long, but after a few hours of being in the
ice box the simmering rice mixture would be heaven's own
marvelous dessert. Although some would now disagree with
me and insist that rice pudding is to be eaten warm, I
still hold to my Mother's tradition and eat it as a cold
dessert.

Tip From Yaya's Kitchen: Do not use common store bought
rice for this recipe. You may substitute Arborio if that
is all the is available.

In a large pot, add the milk, rice, cinnamon sticks, and
lemon peel. Cook over low heat for 1 hour, stirring every
couple minutes to prevent burning. The milk should just
barely be simmering (If the bottom of the pot starts to
scorch and the rice sticks, stop stirring immediately or
the entire recipe will be ruined.

The only way to ΓÇ£fixΓÇ¥ the recipe is to use a ladle or
spoon to transfer the un-burnt portion to a fresh pot,
then continue cooking as before.)

Ater about an hour of cooking you will notice the
mixture is noticeably thicker. At this point use a
slotted spoon to remove the lemon skin and cinnamon
sticks. Add the sugar and stir gently until mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl for cooling.

While this recipe is traditionally served cold after
several hours of refrigeration to thicken, you may also
serve it hot off the stove.
