Kabul Piquant Spiced Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice, rinsed well
- 4 cups whole milk (or oat milk for a non-dairy version)
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
-
2 tsp Rumi Spice Kabul Piquant spice blend
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Directions
Combine the rice, milk, water, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan. Stir in the sugars, Kabul Piquant spice blend, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a light boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent the rice from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer over medium-low/low heat and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has absorbed, about 40 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, butter (if using) and raisins until melted. Let cool slightly (the mixture will continue to thicken as it cools).
- Before serving, top with slivered almonds (the rice pudding can be enjoyed warm or cool).
