Ingredients

  • 200 g Short-grain rice (arborio or carnaroli)
  • 1.5 L Whole milk
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 1 Lemon peel (large strip)
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • 1 Egg yolk (optional for extra creaminess)
  • for dusting Ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Rinse rice until water runs clear. In large heavy-bottomed pot bring 500 ml water to boil with lemon peel and cinnamon stick. Add rice, reduce heat and simmer gently 10-12 minutes until water mostly absorbed.
  2. Gradually add hot milk in several additions (reserve 200 ml), stirring constantly. Simmer very gently 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until rice is very soft and mixture creamy. Add sugar in last 10 minutes.
  3. Optional: temper egg yolk with some hot rice mixture, stir back in off heat for extra richness. Remove lemon peel and cinnamon stick. Pour into individual bowls or large serving dish. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Dust generously with cinnamon before serving.
