Budino di Riso

RICETTA -

6 cups full cream milk

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cups arborio rice

1 satchel of vanillina (or vanilla extract)

2 egg yolks

1 cup cream

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

METHOD

• Bring the milk, sugar , vanilla to boil.

• Add the rice, return to boil, then turn right down to let cook for half hour.

• Whisk 2 egg yolks in a bowl. When rice has cooked for half an hour, scoop out a ladel worth into the egg yolks and whisk vigorously so they don’t scramble

• Add yolk mixture & cream into the pot with the rice and simmer for another 5 or so minutes

• Add the cinnamon (or not if you don’t like it)

• NB always stir your rice often when on the heat to avoid milk burning on the bottom of the pot and once taken off the heat let it rest a while stirring every so often

• 350 gr arborio rice (put in a bowl topped with water and soak for 5 minutes before use)

• 300 ml bolognese sauce pre made

• 200 ml milk
