Lemon rice pudding
(may take longer than the hour but wil post anyway as it is lovely if not for now then for another time!!)
Can be served alone, or with raspberries or any other berries. Could alsp be served in a fancy glass - berries in the bottom; rice pud on the top.
Ingredients
100g pudding rice
zest of 2 lemons and juice of 1
1 lite full fat milk
2 tablesppons caster sugar
250ml double cream
few drops of lemon oil (though I have never used this)
method
PUt pudding rice, lemon zest and milk in wide bottomed saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat. As soon as milk starts to bubble, turn heat right down (if you have a heat diffuser, put it underneath the pan - I don't have one). To stop skin forming on rice pudding cover milk directly with greaseproof paper.
Nigella now goes into massive lecture of how to cover with paper:
'Cut out a large square - slightly bigger than circumference of pan - and fold in the four corners to the middle of the square. SIt this on top of the milk and rice in the pan and then fold the corners back so they stick to the sides of the pan, above the milk.
Let the rice cook for about 40 mins until most of liquid is absorbed.
Take rice off the heat and beat in the sugar then leave to stand for abotu 5 minutes before beating in the lemon juice - if the rice is too hot, it will curdle.
Turn rice pudding into bowl and do the grease proof paper trick again so it is covered. Leave to cool then chill in the fridge. When it is really cold, remove from fridge and take off paper and then whip the cream until 'thick but not clumping' and fold into the rice pudding.
