About

The aromatic jasmine rice in this Spanish rice pudding is the key to creating a deep, rich flavor that cannot be imitated. I cook this pudding very slowly over low heat so the raisins become engorged with cream, causing this seemingly simple dessert to become operatic.

Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice
3 cups water
2 cin

Method

In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the rice, water, cinnamon sticks, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir once to ensure that no rice is sticking to the pan, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until almost all of the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
