CINNAMON RICE

Steps:

• Bring rice, water, milk, raisins, and margarine to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid has absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Mix together cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle over rice to serve.

CINNAMON-SPICED RICE

Steps:

• Cook onion, garlic, cumin seeds, and cinnamon stick in oil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains become slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in broth, sugar, pepper, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and discard cinnamon stick if desired.

CINNAMON-RAISIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring the rice, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 3 1/2 cups of the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepot set over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is just tender, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk in a medium bowl until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolk mixture until smooth and then whisk back into the pot. Stir in the raisins.
• Simmer the pudding, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Remove and discard the pieces of cinnamon stick.
• Pour the pudding into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate, if desired. Serve at room temperature or cold, sprinkled with freshly ground cinnamon.

CINNAMON CURRY RICE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients together.
• Put the cinnamon sticks and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat. Under cold running water, rinse the rice in a saucepan until the water runs clear. Drain and add the rice to the cinnamon water. Bring the water to a boil again, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer covered for 17 minutes, or until craters appear in the surface of the rice and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff the cooked grains with a fork. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then uncover and spread the rice out on a cookie sheet with a fork to cool completely. Discard the cinnamon sticks. (The rice should be cold or at least room temperature before stir-frying.)
• Heat a wok or large skillet. Add the oil and heat until hot. Add the leeks and garlic, and stir-fry over medium heat until slightly softened and translucent. Add the curry powder and stir-fry for 10 seconds, until fragrant. Add the carrots, turnips, rice wine, and water, and partially cover. Cook about 5 to 8 minutes, until tender, then add the cooked rice, breaking it up with a spatula. Add the peas and the sauce. Toss lightly to coat the ingredients and spoon into a serving dish. Serve hot.

ALMOND & CINNAMON RICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 110C/fan 90C/gas 1⁄4. Heat the olive oil in a small ovenproof saucepan and soften the onion for 2 mins, making sure not to colour. Add the rice, lemon thyme, bay leaf,150ml water, then bring to the boil. Season, cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 20 mins until the rice is completely tender.
• When the rice is cooked, stir in the almonds, cinnamon, currants and lemon juice, then season, if you like. Set aside, then gently reheat to piping hot when required.

CINNAMON RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Place the rice in a large, earthenware bowl. Add the sugar, then sprinkle the salt and cinnamon over all. Pour in the cold milk, and place the bowl in the center of the oven. (You may want to place the bowl on a baking sheet in case the teurgoule boils over.)
• Cook the teurgoule for 1-1/2 hours. Reduce the oven temperature to 215° and continue cooking for two hours.
• Remove the teurgoule from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Right from the oven it is too blistering hot!

• Heat to boiling, stirring once or twice; reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender and stock has been absorbed; approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat; fluff rice lightly with fork; cover and allow to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in cilantro and serve.

VANILLA & CINNAMON BREAKFAST RICE

Steps:

• Tip the rice into a large, deep non-stick pan with 600ml water, the milk, vanilla, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and simmer for 25-30 mins until the rice is tender. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't boil dry towards the end of its cooking time.
• Meanwhile, tip the apricots into a small pan with 300ml water and cook over a low-medium heat until tender, about 10-15 mins. Set aside.
• Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick from the rice, then stir in half the yogurt. Both the rice and the apricots will keep chilled, separately, for up to 24 hrs. Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the remaining yogurt, the apricots and their juices and the walnuts. If you've prepared the rice and apricots the day before, eat cold or reheat until warm, adding a splash of milk to the rice to loosen.
