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 CǣfixC�� 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.
