Steps:

• Rinse the rice well, then combine with the milk and cardamom in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender and the milk has been reduced by almost half, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Stir in the sugar and 4 tablespoons of the pistachios and continue to cook, stirring more frequently, until the pudding is the consistency of a thin porridge (it will thicken as it cools), another 15 minutes or so. Remove from heat, add salt and more sugar or a dash of ground cardamom if you like, then stir in the rose water. Serve room temperature or chilled, topped with the rest of the pistachios.

CARDAMOM RICE PUDDING WITH PISTACHIOS AND ROSE WATER

Steps:

• Put the whole milk, cream, vanilla bean pod and seeds and cardamom in a medium saucepan and place over high heat. As soon as the mix is about to boil, remove from the heat, allow to cool down, and leave in the frifge to infuse overnights or at least a couple of hours.
• To prepare the syrup, stir together the honey, rose water and water until the honey dissolves. Set aside.
• Add the rice to the pan with the infused milk and cream, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat, stirring all the time, for 20 minutes. The rice should be cooked through but still retain a bite and the pudding should be thick. You will need to add a little bit of water, up to 3.5 tablespoons, toward the end of the cooking time if the pudding becomes too thick before the rice is done.
• Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pick out the cardamom pods and vanilla pod. Stir in the butter, condensed milk, honey and a pinch of salt. You can chill the mix now and reheat in a microwave later or serve immediately in little flat bowls, sprinkle with pistachios and rose petals, and drizzle with the syrup.
