What a unique, delicious rice pudding! The orange zest and pistachios add such a different flavor. Before you make this recipe, please note that it takes at least 2 hours of simmering.

Recipe adapted from The Moroccan Collection.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 cups organic whole milk
  • 2/3 cup short-grain raw white rice (such as sushi or arborio rice)
  • 3/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp organic orange zest
  • pistachio nuts (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat milk in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the rice and bring to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat and cook very gently, stirring occasionally, until the pudding is thick, velvety and falls easily from a spoon. This may take up to 2 hours.
  2. Stir in sugar, salt, and orange zest. Garnish with pistachios. Serve warm or cold.

This is a great, seasoned rice to serve with Asian stir-fry, such as Tofu Stir-Fry with Green Vegetables and Peanuts or to make sushi.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine rice and water in a medium pot with lid. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, stir once, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let sit, covered for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, sugar and salt and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add vinegar mixture to cooked rice. Stir and fluff rice with a fork. Rice will be very sticky.
