Creamy rice pudding

Rice Pudding Photo: Easy Choice Family Kai

Approx. 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups brown rice
• 2 cups cold water
• 4 cups low-fat milk
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups fruit (e.g. frozen berries, grated or finely chopped apple, tinned fruit or mashed bananas)
• yoghurt (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Method

Put the rice into a large saucepan with the water, milk and sugar. Stir well.

Place the pot on the stove over a high heat, with the lid on. Once it is boiling, turn the heat down to low.

Let the rice simmer gently for another 30-35 minutes, or until rice is tender, continuing to stir regularly. If the liquid is absorbed too quickly, you can add in more water or milk, ½ cup at a time.

Serve the pudding warm in bowls topped with your choice of fruit. You can also add a dollop of yoghurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Tips:

This rice porridge can be eaten for breakfast, a snack or a dessert. 

Store any leftovers in the fridge.
