Arroz Con Leche With Strawberries In Sherry Recipes

ARROZ CON LECHE (RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Combine water and rice in a bowl. Let soak, at least 30 minutes.
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stir milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon stick into the saucepan. Simmer until thick and the consistency of pudding, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick before serving.

ARROZ CON LECHE WITH STRAWBERRIES IN SHERRY

Steps:

• Put the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the sugar, zests and cinnamon. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to help the sugar dissolve, then take the pan off the heat and leave the flavours to infuse for about 30 mins.
• Bring to the boil again, add the rice, then turn the heat right down and cook gently for 30 mins, stirring from time to time. Make sure the rice isn't 'catching' on the bottom of the pan. Leave to cool, remove the cinnamon stick and zests, then add the lemon juice and as much cream as you like to achieve the consistency you prefer. If the rice seems too thick, stir in more milk. (You can put it in the fridge to thicken, but I prefer serving it at room temperature.)
• Cut the strawberries into slices about the thickness of a 50p coin. Put in a bowl with the sugar, orange juice, zest and sherry, and leave for about 20 mins. The sugar will dissolve and the fruit will become glossy. Turn it over every so often; don't leave the fruit for too long or it gets limp.
• Divide the rice pudding between glasses or bowls and spoon some of the strawberries - with the sherry juices - on top.

ARROZ CON LECHE

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.

• Gradually add whole milk to rice, then evaporated milk. Stir in sugar. Cook uncovered until sugar is dissolved and mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold. Sprinkle each portion with ground cinnamon.
