Ingredients
- 3 cups partially-skimmed milk
- 3/4 cup brown rice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 cardamom pods
- 4 whole cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon ground tumeric
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup water, brown rice, salt and cinnamon stick. Bring to a rapid boil, then cover, and reduce heat to low.
- Cook rice for about 40 minutes or until it is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Meanwhile, crush the cardamom and cloves in a mortar and pestle.
- Stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk, the crushed spices, turmeric and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, for twenty minutes or until the pudding is thick and soupy.
- Whisk egg yolk and vanilla together in a small bowl and add a little of the cooking liquid from the pudding to temper the mixture. Add about a cup of rice pudding to the egg, stir well, then transfer the mixture back to the pot.
- Cook the rice pudding for another five minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Add more sweetener or a pinch of salt if desired.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and serve warm.

Notes
- I made do with long-grain brown rice for this recipe, but short-grain would make it a little stickier. Pre-ground cardamom and cloves (1/2 teaspoon of each) may be used instead of the whole spices.
