RICE PUDDING WITH FRESH PEARS AND HONEY image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup bomba or arborio rice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
5 cups whole milk
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon orange-flower water
1 pear, sliced
⅓ cup chopped unsalted, roasted pistachios
Honey (for serving)

Steps:

Bring rice, salt, and 1½ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until water is almost completely absorbed, 6-8 minutes. Add milk, return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and milk is thickened, 30-35 minutes. Add sugar and orange-flower water and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute longer. Let cool slightly. Serve rice pudding topped with sliced pear and chopped pistachios and drizzled with honey.
