Time 1h35m

Yield 1 pudding, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

275 ml brown rice
570 ml milk
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
110 g dried apricots, soaked overnight then drained and chopped
175 g prunes, soaked overnight then drained and chopped
150 g natural yoghurt

Steps:

  • In a thick-based saucepan bring the milk to the boil and sprinkle in the rice.
  • Stir, then cover and cook on a very low heat for about 50 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  • Keep an eye on it or the milk might boil over and, towards the end of the cooking time, have a peep as you may need to add a drop more milk.
  • Then take it off the heat and stir in 3 tbsps of the sugar, the beaten egg, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Next, butter a 4 pint (2.25 litre) casserole dish, spread half the rice mixture in it and top this with half the fruit.
  • Spread the rest of the rice on top and cover this with the remaining fruit.
  • Cover the casserole with a lid and bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at gas mark 4, 350F or 180°C.
  • At the end of the cooking time, remove the pudding from the oven, spread the yoghurt over the top and sprinkle with the remaining tbsp of sugar.
