ARROZ CON LECHE
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.

History:
The origins of arroz con leche y pasas can be traced back to the Moorish invasion of Spain in the 8th century. The Moors brought with them a love of rice and spices, which they combined with the local ingredients to create new dishes. The first written recipe for arroz con leche was recorded in 1252 by the Andalusian scholar Al-Maqqari in his book "The Pleasant Book of Fruits and Cookery." Over time, the dish spread to Latin America and the Caribbean through Spanish colonization. In these regions, the dish has been adapted and modified to include local ingredients and flavors, but the basic recipe remains the same.Ingredients:
The traditional ingredients for arroz con leche y pasas include:- 1 cup of white rice
- 4 cups of milk
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup of raisins
Variations:
There are many variations of arroz con leche y pasas, which reflect the regional and cultural differences in the countries where it is enjoyed. Some common variations include:- Coconut milk - in some countries, coconut milk is used instead of regular milk to give the dish a tropical flavor
- Condensed milk - in some versions of the dish, sweetened condensed milk is used instead of sugar to sweeten the rice pudding
- Nuts - some people like to add toasted nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to their arroz con leche y pasas for additional crunch
- Citrus zest - adding a bit of lemon or orange zest can give the dish a bright, citrus flavor
Instructions:
To make arroz con leche y pasas, follow these steps:- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes any excess starch and ensures that the rice won't get too gummy when cooked.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, cinnamon stick, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed.
- Add the milk and sugar to the saucepan with the rice. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the raisins and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the raisins are plump and the pudding is thick and creamy.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and serve the arroz con leche y pasas warm or chilled.
