MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Arroz con Leche (Spanish Rice Pudding)
Categories: Five, Spanish, Rice, Dairy, Citrus
     Yield: 4 Servings

   1/2 ga Milk
     1 c  Paella Rice
     1 c  Sugar
     2    Cinnamon Sticks (whole)
     2    Strips of Lemon peel

 Prep Time/ Cook Time: 1 hour cooking on the stove top

 I recall that as a child I would awaken on Sunday mornings
 to the sweet smell of rice slowly simmering in milk & sugar.
 It was such a pleasure to walk into the kitchen and behold
 the old pot on top of the stove bubbling away.

 I would occasionally try to sneak a taste, but I knew that
 the decadent dessert was far too hot for my young taste
 buds to handle. I knew that the wait would be unbearably
 long, but after a few hours of being in the ice box the
 simmering rice mixture would be heaven's own marvelous
 dessert. Although some would now disagree with me and
 insist that rice pudding is to be eaten warm, I still hold
 to my Mother's tradition and eat it as a cold dessert.

 Tip From Yaya’s Kitchen: Do not use common store bought
 rice for this recipe. You may substitute Arborio if that
 is all the is available.

 In a large pot, add the milk, rice, cinnamon sticks, and
 lemon peel. Cook over low heat for 1 hour, stirring every
 couple minutes to prevent burning. The milk should just
 barely be simmering (If the bottom of the pot starts to
 scorch and the rice sticks, stop stirring immediately or
 the entire recipe will be ruined.

 The only way to "fix" the recipe is to use a ladle or spoon
 to transfer the un-burnt portion to a fresh pot, then continue
 cooking as before.)

 Ater about an hour of cooking you will notice the mixture is
 noticeably thicker. At this point use a slotted spoon to remove
 the lemon skin and cinnamon sticks. Add the sugar and stir
 gently until mixed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl for cooling.
 While this recipe is traditionally served cold after several
 hours of refrigeration to thicken, you may also serve it hot
 off the stove.
