Growing up, my aunt ChaCha cooked 6 nights a week for 6-8 people. She used traditional Cuban recipes, made EVERYTHING from scratch and bought everything fresh. This is my all time favorite dish. Ingredients:
1/2 cup rice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cinnamon stick |
lemon zest (optional) |
1 1/2 cups water |
4 1/4 cups milk |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Boil rice, lemon zest, vanilla & cinnamon stick in water until rice is soft.
2. Add milk, salt, and sugar.
3. Cook over medium flame stirring occasionally until it thickens (about 1 hour).
4. Turn over into a Pyrex-type dish & powder with cinnamon.
5. I leave zest & cinnamon stick in the dish and serve around it as it continues to put out flavor.
6. Serve warm or chilled.
