They’re not that big on desserts in Spain, and you can go to some restaurants and be offered just an apple. This is a version of a rice pudding that I ate at least once a week in Spain. It’s simple and refreshing.

Ingredients

Method

Main

1.Combine milk, rice, cinnamon quill and lemon rind in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until rice is tender and milk reduces by half (45-55 minutes). Add sugar and cook until dissolved and slightly thickened (5-10 minutes). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until cold (3-4 hours).
2.Remove cinnamon quill from rice mixture, divide among 4 bowls and serve, dusted to taste with ground cinnamon.

Drink Suggestion: A glass of Sánchez Romate Cream Sherry. Drink suggestion by Lok Thornton
