Ground-Rice Pudding (Mehallabia) image

Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2006-Egypt. From the "Best of International Cooking" cookbook. I haven't had the opportunity to try this recipe yet. The surface crust on this pudding is stirred into the pudding giving it a delicate caramel flavor. Note: Prep time doesn't include refrigeration time.

MUHALLABIA (GROUND RICE PUDDING)



Muhallabia (Ground Rice Pudding) image

A classic Middle Eastern dessert, which I have often eaten in Middle Eastern restaurants, so I was pleased to find it in Christine Osborne's 'Middle Eastern Food and Drink'. I have not yet tried this recipe. I am posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. When I've eaten this dish, it has been garnished with chopped pistachio nuts. This recipe offers chopped almonds as an alternative. This is a make-ahead recipe: the estimated preparation and cooking times do not include the time needed for chilling.

1 tablespoon cornflour
5 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon rose water
70 g almonds, ground

Steps:

  • Using a little of the milk, mix the ground rice and cornflour to a smooth paste.

TRADITIONAL BRITISH GROUND RICE PUDDING



Traditional British Ground Rice Pudding image

This recipe was on the side of a Whitworth's Brand Ground Rice packet. I've hunted for ages to try and find the old recipe I used to have when I was small and this looks like it. I've not tried it yet (will probably do the microwave version (also on the packet) which I'm adding next). Should be very nice. My mum used to add a few drops of vanilla essence, a 'knob' (a bit cut off the corner of a slab...) of butter and an egg white (possibly the whole egg, - can't remember :). She also used to add a little nutmeg and a little cinnamon and mix them in before putting in the oven dish to bake.
