Rice Pudding With Mandarin Orange Food

CREAMY ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Remove zest from orange using the smallest holes on a box grater, and set aside. Cut ends off orange, and remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Lift sections away from membranes, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes over sections before discarding.
• Place the Arborio rice, milk, reserved orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla bean and seeds, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most but not all of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Remove the vanilla bean, and serve the pudding in small bowls garnished with orange sections.

Steps:

• Add the rice, salt, 1 can of coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook until almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the Vanilla Sugar, orange zest and remaining can of coconut milk to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring regularly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Once the mixture is at a simmer, turn off the heat.
• After the rice has cooked for 18 minutes, add the coconut milk-orange zest mixture to the rice and continue to cook over low until the rice is very tender and creamy, an additional 15 minutes.
• Add the sugar to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Slice open the vanilla bean pods and use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the food processor with the sugar and blend for about a minute, until the vanilla beans are evenly distributed. Pour the vanilla sugar into an airtight container and add 1 of the scraped vanilla bean pods.

PRESSURE COOKER RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Making rice pudding in the pressure cooker requires pressure cooking with milk - which can be tricky but not impossible. It has a tendency to foam and bubble inside your pressure cooker and valve. So, do not open your pressure cooker by releasing the pressure vapor valve. My recipe recommends the cold-water quick-release method. If you have an electric pressure cooker, shorten the cooking time a bit and let the pressure come down naturally to avoid spurting milk out of the valve.
• Begin the recipe by taking the eggs out of the refrigerator so that they can come to room temperature.
• Then, in your pressure cooker add the milk, sugar, bay leaf, nutmeg, vanilla and rice. Stir well.
• Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. When the pan reaches pressure, lower the flame to minimum heat and count 9-12 minutes cooking time under pressure. When time is up, bring the pan to the sink, pour cold water over the top, and open the pressure cooker.
• Carefully, fish out the bay leaf and discard.
• While some of the heat and vapor are evaporating from the rice in the open pressure cooker, beat two eggs in a medium sized bowl. Then, to temper the eggs, start adding some of the liquid from the rice pudding to the eggs, one tablespoon at a time. Add, beat. Add, beat - about 5 tablespoons or more wroth of liquid until the eggs begin to get lighter. Then, pour the egg mixture slowly into the pan while stirring the rice quickly. Continue stirring for about 5 more minutes. If the consistency is still too runny, put the pan back low heat and thicken up, stirring frequently.
• Scoop the rice pudding into individual bowls and garnish. Serve warm in the winter and chilled in the summer.
