Chef Chuck's Rice Pudding




Budino di Riso


A creamy rice pudding, that can be served warm or cold. I used arborio rice which is an Italian short grain rice grown in northern Italy. Arborio rice needs to cook longer than other kinds of rice and it gives this pudding a bit of a chew.


Rice Pudding


3/4 cup arborio rice
3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla,
or 1/2 vanilla bean
pinch of salt

2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
cinnamon
raisins, optional


Heat milk, sugar, salt and vanilla to a simmer then add rice. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring often, add eggs and butter and cook an additional 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick you can add more milk. Sprinkle each serving with cinnamon and add raisins.
