FRUIT 'N' NUT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
• Place the rice in an ovenproof pie dish.
• Add the apricots, currants and walnuts.

• Cover with foil (or lid) and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

30-MINUTE RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• Place rice in strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Place rice, milk, raisins, and orange peel in large saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into pan; add bean. Bring rice mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to lowest possible temperature, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 23 minutes. Remove from heat. Add egg yolks; stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in sugar.
• Divide pudding among eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft. (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
• Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.

RICE PUDDING WITH SAFFRON AND NUTS

Steps:

• Put the saffron and sugar cube in a mortar. Pulverize with the pestle. Add to the milk when you put in the cardamom pods. Cook the rice pudding according to directions in the preceding recipe for 45 minutes. When you are adding the sugar, add most of the nuts, keeping some aside for garnishing the top when the pudding has cooled down a bit.

FRUIT 'N' RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup juice. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, rice, strawberries, pear, peach and banana. In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, honey and reserved pineapple juice. Pour over fruit mixture; toss to coat. Line salad plates with spinach; top with fruit mixture.

RICE PUDDING WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat and cover.
• Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. Add vanilla and Pernod.
• Cool, then refrigerate at least 3 hours.
• Halve pears lengthwise, slice thinly, and spread out into a fan shape. Place pear and rice pudding on plates, and garnish with raspberries and anise seeds.

CREAMY RICE PUDDING WITH TROPICAL FRUITS

Steps:

• Boil rice in water in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, uncovered and undisturbed, until steam holes appear on surface, about 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to very low and cook, covered and undisturbed, 12 minutes more.
• Stir in cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup fruit into pudding and serve topped with remaining fruit.

WARM FRUITY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix milk, reserved fruit cocktail liquid, pudding mix, ginger and rice in medium saucepan until blended.
• Bring to boil on medium heat; cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat; stir in fruit. Let stand 15 min. before serving.

NUT MILK RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350'F. I used my toaster oven. It works perfect for these small items. Roast for about 8 minutes, but keep an eye on them, they roast quite fast. Remove when done and cool on a heat proof dish or plate.
• In a medium saucepan bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the jasmine rice and stir for about 60 seconds. Cover with a tight fitting lid, turn down to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Once again this depends on your stove. The best way to tell if its ready is to check and see if all the liquid is absorbed. If it is, chances are its ready.
• If ready, add the vanilla and maple extracts, stir in, then add the nut milk and nutmeg and return to a simmer cook uncovered for about 8 minutes until the milk is absorbed into the rice. This should be thickened up as well.
• Stir occasionally so it doesn't stick. Add in the agave or whatever sweetener you choose and stir to combine.
• Remove from heat, cool slightly and spoon into dessert bowls. Garnish with you strawberries, nuts and mint if using.
• You should let these cool down in the fridge for several hours or over night for the best flavour to develop.
• Bon Appetit!
